View submission: Shhh! Introducing new modmail mute length options

Here's some reasons I use old modmail (other than inertia). I might be be unaware of features in New modmail that address the following though so if there are, please let me know!

**Subreddit modmail view** -- When you click the big subreddit name in Old modmail, it takes you to a page showing all the modmail from that subreddit only. In new modmail, when you click the subreddit name, it takes you to the subreddit's front page. In new modmail, I have to go and take the time to deselect all other subreddits to have the same effect.

**RES Text Editing** -- RES text editing is supported in Old Reddit and not in New Reddit as far as I know. For example, when I highlight text and press Ctrl+K to turn it into a link, RES in Old modmail lets me turn the text into a link whereas New modmail just puts the cursor in the URL bar. When I highlight text and press Ctrl+I to italicize it, RES in Old modmail italicizes the text whearas New modmail does nothing.

**RES Macros** -- I use a lot of RES Macros because I have to repeat a lot of messages over and over to users. As far as I know, RES macros are not supported in new modmail but they are supported in old modmail. An action that takes two clicks and a few seconds in old modmail with RES macros, takes much longer to type out by hand or search for the relevant copy-pasta for the situation.

For macros you could look into /r/toolbox macros which have the benefit of being configurable for the entire mod team.

You can use the "All Communities" item in the subreddit list to do this with one click.

I can confirm that RES macros do work on modmail - I use them on a redirect sub when I get the occasional request to post.
