It sounds like you're suggesting a user-friendly feature for Mattermost that would improve message quoting functionality. Adding a "quote" button alongside the existing "reply" button would allow users to quickly reference parts of previous messages without needing to create a full thread. This would streamline the conversation and make it easier to reply directly to specific messages in a more intuitive manner.
The quote button could automatically insert the quoted message, along with the sender’s name, into the reply, similar to how modern messaging apps like WhatsApp or Slack handle quoting. This way, users can engage in focused conversations without cluttering the discussion with threads that might feel excessive for simple replies. The feature could be particularly useful in group chats or active channels where direct replies are often preferred.
