Hard to link replied messages to the quoted message

carderne commented 2 years ago

Any ideas? In the plain Markdown I guess we could include a timestamp, but it'll start getting a bit unwieldy quickly I think... In the HTML it could be a hyperlink, but currently how the script works is by parsing the Markdown into HTML [0], so that would still require making the Markdown messy...

[0] The reason for this is so that messages from separate exports can easily be merged as Markdown, and then re-converted to HTML. It's probably time I refactored to output a machine-readable JSON source of truth, and then parse separately to Markdown and HTML separately from that...

I just realised you meant they weren't quoted at all. This feature was added behind a --quote flag and I've just set it as default. Please give it a go.

Excellent! Don't know how I missed that.
