Continuing the discussion from [“Like” button or link for email notifications](https://meta.discourse.org/t/like-button-or-link-for-email-notifications/25499/7):

Regarding adding a “link” to like a post in the email:

> [@"Like" button or link for email notifications](https://meta.discourse.org/t/like-button-or-link-for-email-notifications/25499/7):
>
> I prefer to “reply” in a mail client as mentioned in the [reply to like](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ability-to-like-1-a-post-via-email-reply/24135)…
> 
> All these additional steps feel wrong:
> 
> 1. Click the link
> 2. Opening a web browser
> 3. Visual for like action taking place
> 4. Having to return to mail client
> 5. Delete the mail.
> 
> The reply process would be simpler especially for mobile clients (arguably the target group for mail reply functionality):
> 
> 1. Click reply
> 2. Type “like” or “+1” or similar.
> 3. Hit send (depending on the mail client this also closes / archives the email conversation).
> 
> In addition the link is effectively an **instruction** - which was the complaint with [other proposal](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ability-to-like-1-a-post-via-email-reply/24135) - “how would users know”.
