Description

Now the issue notification email has been configed, and we could get the notification email when someone @me or reply my issue,
but how about i reply the email i got then the issue is replyed with the email content? I think it would be a cool function and more convenient for communication.

It's not a trivial task. Perhaps through a POP account is a good start? Otherwise it would be difficult without a standard mail subsystem. Unix-like systems usually have one, but Windows doesn't. Then each message should be MIME parsed. The real trick however is to strip the quoted parts of a reply, though. Here's one library I've found for that: https://github.com/kvannotten/mailstrip

This would be a useful function.

@bagasme Yes, I think the right description about this issue is reply-by-mail (comment/reply).

I find that this function in Gitlab is called "reply-by-mail".

I think https://github.com/emersion/go-imap would be a better choice.

I second the usefulness of this feature request. We've had a discussion about this over at https://codeberg.org/corona-contact-tracing-germany/cwa-android and wondered whether there was a feature request issue open already.

@suli3 maybe you can rename the issue title to "[Feature request] Add Issue reply by mail"? That way it'd be easier to figure out at a glance what this issue is about.
