Gmail
Adding a new feature to Gmail
Quoting and responding to parts of a lengthy email message
as well as the option to move parts of the message to a new mailbox
Background
Email is among the most useful and widespread tools in the world
Approximately 4 billion people worldwide use email
and around 102.6 trillion emails are sent and received each year
with this number consistently rising
There is no doubt that email is the most popular and practical tool
for companies, business owners, employees, and every individual
The problem
There is no option to reply and quote part of the email
Email is often used to send long, detailed messages
especially in professional settings and businesses
where users regularly use email for their work
When they want to respond to a message in an organized manner
they don't have the option to do so
The goal
To enable quoting a response
as available in WhatsApp, Google Chat, and other platforms
To simplify the response from a long email
to something straightforward and user-friendly
Additionally, to allow transferring part of the message to a new email
?Why is this important
It addresses an existing and everyday
need that currently lacks a solution
Long messages are sent every day, and people have come up with ideas
on how to respond to parts of the message in different ways
such as copy-pasting, changing colors for each part
and more. This creates confusion and a lack of understanding.

!!Disaster, disaster, disaster
Chaos takes up so much time
It's tough, which is why many clients prefer WhatsApp
which isn't always feasible
Email is a more professional platform
but the inability to respond and quote
for example, is incredibly difficult

Simply copy and paste each comment
and color each response with a different color
It's really annoying
