# Quote or forward a message
|
|
|
|
Conversations in Zulip are [organized by topic](/help/introduction-to-topics),
|
|
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](#quote-a-message) all or part of it for reference.
|
|
|
|
You can also [forward](#forward-a-message) a message to another conversation.
|
|
|
|
The first line of a quoted or forwarded message contains a [permanent
|
|
link][link-to-message] to the original message. Zulip automatically turns
|
|
mentions in the quoted text into [silent
|
|
mentions](/help/mention-a-user-or-group#silently-mention-a-user) to avoid
|
|
unnecessarily mentioning someone twice.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
You can use [quote blocks](/help/format-a-quote)
|
|
when quoting emails or other non-Zulip content.
|
|
