# Quote and reply
|
|
|

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

|
|
|
|
{!message-actions-menu.md!}
|
|

1. Click **Quote and reply**.
|
|
|
|
1. (optional) Delete paragraphs not relevant to your reply, just like
|
|
when replying to a multi-paragraph email.
|
|
|
|
1. Send your message.
|
|
|
