Move a message to another channel
Sometimes a user posts his message in the wrong channel. Deleting the message and repost is a simple solution. However, sometimes the message already contains replies. Is it possible (to make) to move a message including its replies to another channel?

We are currently looking at bringing the features of the Wrangler plugin into the core product to solve the use cases of:
1. Moving a message or thread to another channel
2. Attaching a message to an existing thread
You can follow progress here as we start design soon: https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-35848

This feature is really needed because users often write their posts into improper channel. It would be great to select multiple messages and move them into another channel with preserved timestamps. As far as I know, Wrangler does not keep the original timestamps which is pity.

We're happy for the Wrangler-Plugin (https://github.com/gabrieljackson/mattermost-plugin-wrangler). Unfortunately, it doesn't allow to forward messages to direct/personal channels. However, this is a crucial feature for an efficient internal communication. Therefore: Please add this feature!

Reviving this. This is a crucial feature that is missing in MM.

We use Mattermost for faster inhouse com and have many "older" users that are not so familiar with modern messenger communication habits. They are quite ambitious, but often post in the wrong team/channel and I am expected to deal with it. Such possibility would make my life as Mattermost admin a lot easier! -

We really need this feature. Copying and pasting, aside from being slow and inefficient for multiple messages, also makes us lose track of the original poster of the message.

Sometimes user may need to forward messages from one person/channel to different person/channel. It would be nicer have forward option for messge.

I ran out of vote so I could not upvote this suggestion but we also would like to see a plan to have this feature in the future.
