@monsieuricon I have someone that only has gmail available for mail. How can I enable them _easily_ to reply to a thread they weren't Cced on? Do you happen to have an idea?

@brauner @monsieuricon I've wondered that too, both for myself and others, but sadly I've never found a solution. If someone has an approach that works, please share :)

@securepaul @brauner I did consider adding "b4 watch <msgid>" that would email you the full thread and all updates to it.

@monsieuricon @brauner I think that could be helpful, although I'm curious how that would work. It would require some infrastructure, wouldn't it?

@securepaul @brauner Yes, this would call the web endpoint, which would do the actual thread retrieval and mailing.

The "watch" part is a bit more involved, because that would require monitoring a thread for updates, but to just send out a thread to an address would be easy.
