reply message ui design

some ideas for displaying the in reply to <mx-reply> description and content in a (probably) nicer way:

• link the whole <mx-reply> to the original message so a tap on it scrolls up the message history (if necessary) and highlights the original message
• don’t display nested replys (in longer discussions I don’t wan’t to have everything from above again in the new message, but just the last message the reply refers to; when I wan’t to read preceding messages content I can scroll up / click on the reply to be scrolled up to the corresponding message)
• only display the first part of the quoted text (maybe also in a little bit smaller font size) to prevent reply messages to fill up a huge amount of space, only because the original message was a long one

tap and show it fully

Isn’t it better to have tapping jump to message? You see the whole message and the context, rather than just seeing the message and not having a convenient way to jump to context.

I’d add the following improvement: if the original message contains an image, show a small image preview (but not a full-sized image).
