## Notes for implementing work-in-progress version
This is a work-in-progress specification.
Software implementing this work-in-progress specification MUST NOT use the unprefixed `+reply-context` tag name. Instead, implementations SHOULD use the `+draft/reply-context` tag name to be interoperable with other software implementing a compatible work-in-progress version.
The final version of the specification will use an unprefixed tag name.
## Introduction
The `+reply` tag marks a message as a reply to a previous message, however there is no agreed upon way to display those in clients. This specification explicitly states how clients should display these replies.
## Implementation
When sending a message with a `+reply` client tag, clients SHOULD send a `+draft/reply-context` tag. This tag MUST have one of these values:
- "thread": This value tells the client not to show the reply in the main channel, but add it to a thread.
- "channel": The client shows the reply in the main channel.
- "thread,channel": The client adds the reply to the thread, but also shows the reply in the main channel.
