The earlier conversation in a reply

When you reply, TALISK_HQ puts the message you are answering underneath what you write, the way most mail apps do. The person reading it sees your words first and the earlier conversation below, so nobody has to go looking for what you are responding to.

Where to find it

Open a reply and look under the signature. A panel labelled QUOTED MESSAGE shows who wrote it and when. Click it to read the text that will go out. It is folded away by default so it does not crowd the box you are typing in.

In a conversation with several messages, the quote is whichever message you pressed Reply on, not simply the newest one.

On your phone it sits under the message box as Quoted message, with the sender and date. Tap it to read the text.

Sending without it

Press the × on the panel (Remove on your phone) and the reply goes out with only what you wrote. Include it puts it back. Use this when the history holds something the new recipient should not see.

Things worth knowing

• The quote never counts as writing. A reply with nothing typed in it still will not send.
• Images in the earlier message travel with it, so the other person sees them in their own copy.
• If you pick up a draft that already carries a quote, for example one you started in Gmail or Outlook, TALISK_HQ does not add a second one.
• Before 4 October 2026 replies sent from a computer went out without the earlier conversation, and replies from a phone carried only its first twenty lines. Your own view looked complete because TALISK_HQ groups a thread together, but the people you wrote to did not see the whole thing.
