You can quote a previous message, either replying within a topic or to
|
|
|
|
start a new topic.

The first line of the reply contains a [permanent link][link-to-message]
|
|
|
|
to the quoted message. Zulip automatically turns mentions in the quoted text
|
|
|
|
into [silent mentions](/help/mention-a-user-or-group#silently-mention-a-user)
|
|
|
|
to avoid unnecessarily mentioning someone twice.

You can use [quote blocks](/help/format-a-quote)
|
2022-06-02 01:56:59 +02:00
|
|
|
when quoting emails or other non-Zulip content.
