Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Activating "Share by mail" with the option "Reply to initiator" results in sending an unencrypted mail with a password.
Describe the solution you'd like
Sending all the information which is currently included in the mail via Talk, keep the information more secure and just use what is already available.
Describe alternatives you've considered
- run NC on-premise and hosting a local mailserver -> much effort
- encrypt system mails -> will also result in a FR
- don´t "Reply to initator" -> then I will loose information for troubleshooting

Research direction
Start by tracing the Share by mail flow for the “Reply to initiator” option and identify where its current mail content and password are assembled. Then inspect the available Talk integration points and clarify how the same troubleshooting information should be delivered there. Done means the behavior is implemented without sending that information in an unencrypted mail.
