Replying and forwarding
Open the message you want to respond to. The buttons for replying and forwarding are at the top.
| Button | What happens? |
|---|---|
| (1) Reply | You reply to the sender only. |
| (2) Reply all | You reply to the sender and everyone else who received the message. Use the arrow next to it to choose Reply list, for messages from a mailing list. |
| (3) Forward | You send the message on to someone else. Use the arrow next to it to choose whether the message goes in the text or is sent as an attachment. |
When you reply, the recipient is already filled in and the subject starts with Re:. The original message is quoted in your reply (1). Type your reply and click Send.
Reply above or below the quote?
By default, you start below the original message. Would you rather type above the quote? Go to Settings, Composing Messages, and choose the other option under When replying. See The most important settings.
Tip: in a long conversation, you don't need to keep everything. Remove unnecessary parts of the quote to keep your reply easy to read.
