## Reply, Reply All, and Forward

| Action    | Shortcut | Behavior                                               |
| --------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| Reply     | `r`      | Reply to sender of the last message                    |
| Reply All | `a`      | Reply to all recipients (sender + To + CC)             |
| Forward   | `f`      | Forward thread to new recipients with original content |

These shortcuts work from both the inbox list and thread detail view. The compose editor opens with correct recipients, subject line, and quoted content pre-filled.

## Inline Reply

When viewing a thread, press `r` to open the inline reply editor at the bottom. It includes:

* Pre-filled recipients based on the last message
* Subject carried over with "Re:" prefix
* Your signature auto-appended
* Full compose features (formatting, attachments, AI tools)

<Tip>To reply to a specific message in a multi-message thread, hover over that message and click the reply icon.</Tip>

## Quoted Content

Original email content is included as quoted text below your reply. Quoted content is **collapsed by default** behind a "..." indicator — click to expand. You can edit or delete quoted text before sending.

In received messages, quoted content is also collapsed to keep long threads readable.

## Forwarding

Press `f` to forward. The editor opens with:

* Empty To field (you choose recipients)
* Subject prefixed with "Fwd:"
* Original message content included
* All original attachments carried over

Add your message above the forwarded content.

## AI Draft Reply

Press `Cmd+Enter` while in a reply to generate an AI-drafted response. The agent reads the full thread context, your memories, and sender profile to match your writing style.

## Threading

Slashy sets `References` and `In-Reply-To` headers automatically. Your replies appear in the correct thread in Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and every other client.

<Tip>If a thread appears broken (messages not grouped correctly), check whether the subject line was modified. Changing the subject creates a new thread in most email clients.</Tip>
