View submission: Shhh! Introducing new modmail mute length options
A bunch of 3rd party apps still only support old modmail
This time it's really not their fault. They've had support for new modmail in the API for years. If a third party app doesn't support it by now there's not much they can do.

I'm not blaming the admins, just mentioning the state of things.

Well the API is awfully complicated and different from how the rest of the reddit API works. Most third party devs are usually not mods (or just for the support sub of their app) making it also difficult for them to figure out if things are working correctly.
So I can't really blame them for not investing the effort in figuring this one out.
