View submission: Shhh! Introducing new modmail mute length options

View parent comment

Primarily old modmail. Here's why.

• **Threading.** Being able to see who a reply is targeted as is important and was a super amazing feature when it was introduced in 2015.

• **URL based subreddit filtering.** I can provide a URL of a subreddit, multireddit, or pseudomultireddit (subrdddit1+subreddit2) and get only the mail for that subreddit.

• **API: way to get a linked `Message`.** Modmail is intrinsically linked to the message system and being able to link the two without a really hacky system of guessing and checking is important to me as a developer. There are some things we need to use the `Message` object for (moderation of errenously sent messages, etc).

• **It would be really nice if the UI matched reddit's.** Right now, modmail feels like a completely separate site and that is kinda jarring. It's more difficult to get to other parts of reddit.

• **Some crippling bugs need to be fixed.** An error shouldn't delete the entire message, the icon shouldn't get stuck for some users, and there's a bit more as well.

I always wondered why modmail didn't operate in a similar way to having a private subreddit where every new modmail was a new post.

This. 100%.

And also threading.
