Quote and reply
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 to the quoted message. Zulip automatically turns mentions in the quoted text into silent mentions to avoid unnecessarily mentioning someone twice.
!!! tip ""
You can use [quote blocks](/help/format-your-message-using-markdown#quotes)
when quoting emails or other non-Zulip content.
