Inline comments in mail

You're referring to inline comments in email!

Inline comments are a feature in some email clients that allow you to add comments or notes directly within an email message, rather than as a separate reply or attachment. This can be useful for collaborative work, feedback, or simply for keeping track of discussions.

Here are some examples of inline comments in email:

  1. Google Workspace (formerly G Suite): In Gmail, you can use the "Comment" feature to add a comment to a specific part of an email message. To do this, hover over the text you want to comment on, click the three vertical dots, and select "Comment."
  2. Microsoft Outlook: In Outlook, you can use the "Task" feature to add a comment to an email message. To do this, right-click on the email message, select "Task," and then add your comment.
  3. ProtonMail: In ProtonMail, you can use the "Comment" feature to add a comment to an email message. To do this, hover over the text you want to comment on, click the three vertical dots, and select "Comment."
  4. Zoho Mail: In Zoho Mail, you can use the "Comment" feature to add a comment to an email message. To do this, hover over the text you want to comment on, click the three vertical dots, and select "Comment."

When you add an inline comment, it will typically appear as a highlighted or strikethrough text, with your name or initials next to it. This way, the original email message remains intact, and the comment is easily visible for others to see.

Keep in mind that not all email clients support inline comments, so you may need to check your email client's settings or features to see if this option is available.
