Quote or forward a message
Conversations in Zulip are organized by topic, so it's generally clear what you're responding to when you send a message. However, when responding to an older message, you may want to quote all or part of it for reference.
You can also forward a message to another conversation.
The first line of a quoted or forwarded message contains a permanent link to the original message. Zulip automatically turns mentions in the quoted text into silent mentions to avoid unnecessarily mentioning someone twice.
!!! tip ""
You can use [quote blocks](/help/format-a-quote)
when quoting emails or other non-Zulip content.
