Email Reply

When email is sent or posted to Traction, you can reply directly from Traction. The response message is sent as an ordinary email, but also published to a selected project.

Traction creates a "replies to" relationship between the two entries so you can follow the thread. Subsequent messages in the thread will also be linked.
