Can A Guy get a "Reply" Function for Emails?

I'd love to carry on email conversations with people and it's rather cumbersome without a simple reply option. I've never seen an email in any game that doesn't at the least, have this function. Is there a really good reason behind this or is it just to frustrate me? Q_Q

    This is one of those mind boggling design choices that makes you question WTF are they thinking.

    That is just one of the many simple options available in every other MMO that they should have implemented from the start.

    If options weren't necessary, and everyone played the same way, no one would use addons. Fix the UI!

    Yeah. I get emails from guild members all the time and without a reply feature it makes things rather cumbersome.

    Hope this gets added to the "to do" list but it's not very high priority for me.

    Yeah needs a fix but shouldn't be high priority having said that they fixed goblin horse surfing before ww not being able to cc break. So maybe the reply function will be in tomorrow.

    I agree with this. Even when recieving crafting items via mail from my partner for levelling it still feels wrong not to be able to hit reply and say thanks, even though I am usually talking to him at the time :)

    Sad to say, but there are console games that have better in-game management tools for clans and guilds than what ESO brings to the table at this point in time.

    I'd like to see a 'sent items'. Doesn't have to be detailed or even the actual emails, just a list of who I sent like my last 5 email to with subject lines.

    IKR....there are so many things that just make you scratch your head and go "wtf were they thinking".
    Force weapon swap to have priority over EVERYTHING. Close enough.
    Make stamina builds even with magicka builds.
    Disable abilities while holding block.
    Give us a REASON to do dungeons more than once.
    Remove PVP AoE CAP. It is ruining Cyrodiil.
    Fix/Remove Forward Camps. They are ruining Cyrodiil.
    Impenetrability needs to REDUCE CRIT DAMAGE. Not negate entire builds.

    How a modern MMO can neglect to include a reply option for mail, is mind boggling.

    Its the small functions who is easy to forget then designing the system.

    However it should be very simple to add, just call the send mail page with the user you got the mail from as recipient and Re: + original subject so it should have been added months ago.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I was actually flabbergasted that there was no reply function. The first message I got I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to reply to it.

    We can return an email with one button, we should be able to reply with one button.

    Now, I can see how a message chain would get huge, but that could be fixed by not including the original in the reply. And, I can also see how some people would turn that into a Chat function and that could bog down the servers. So perhaps a cool down timer on re-replies could be implemented. The first should be allowed a quick reply, but say the next reply they have to wait 5 minutes or something. This way they would be encouraged to use Chat for a conversation.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    If they are worried about message strings bogging things down, they could simply include only the latest message in the reply instead of all the messages as a default. Shouldn't be too tough. Either that or the timed reply after the first makes some sense if it came down to it being that big of an issue.

    Is it even possible to create an add-on which does this or does the API restrict this type of coding?

    As previously mentioned:
    MailR - original addon to reply/forward/save sent mail
    http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info226-MailR.html

    MailR - Guild Mail Beta - same as MailR, but has function to mail entire guild
    http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info551-MailR-GuildMailBeta.html

    i have to imagine at some point ZoS will put this in game, but until then feel free to use these.
