Comment on issues and pull requests via email

NOTE: This feature is not enabled by default; the [email.incoming].ENABLED setting must be set.

When receiving a notification, it is possible to reply to the email instead of using the web interface. The content of the reply will be stripped of the quoted text (lines starting with a greater than >) and used as the content of the comment. The attachments from the reply will be added as attachments to the comment.

It will be taken into account when receiving a notification email about:

• A newly created issue
• A newly created pull request
• A comment added to a specific line of code in a pull request review
• A comment on an existing issue
• A comment on an existing pull request

NOTE: The reply address contains a unique token to match the response with the issue or pull request and looks like this: forgejo+ABCDE@example.com. In some mail clients, such as Thunderbird, using this reply address may require using the Reply List button rather than the Reply button.
