Why do emails include the previous email in your new email?

257 views

When you reply to an email, it will include the entire previous email thread in your reply to that email.

Why does this happen when most email clients are able to show email threads, making this seem kind of redundant.

It is so that a user can see what was or is being talked about. This is in many email apps because not all afford threading. Also,f for people who get many emails, it presents the context of the message.

This feature is a throwback to the data when papers were shuffled around. A copy of the original note would be attached to the reply, or, a new note was stapled with
The other notes in a file folder.

You can disable this feature in many email applications.
