Description
Feature Request
Before some recent changes it was possible to reply to a message or forward it directly from the EnvelopeList.
I would like to get that possibility back.
Summary
- When the user clicks the reply or forward action, Mail shall reply/forward the latest (more recent) message in the thread.
- Additional question: Shouldn't the "download thread data for debugging" action be moved in the EnvelopList's action menu (it's now added to every ThreadEnvelope)?
- The action menu from the EnvelopeList component and the one from the threadEnvelope component should be streamlined to show as much the same actions as possible, and in the same order
- The action menu that appears when the user selects several messages/thread should probably also get the "mark important", "mark as spam" and "edit tags" actions

Research direction
Start by locating the EnvelopeList and ThreadEnvelope components and comparing their action menus. Trace how reply and forward actions select a message, then review the multi-selection menu and the thread-debugging action. Done means the requested actions are restored and the relevant menus are streamlined according to the checklist.
