Continuing the discussion from [Discourse Post Voting](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-post-voting/227808/62):
Email replies to Q&A topic land on the topic as comments instead of answers.
* * *
**Edit:** There seem to be three types of replies that are possible:
1. Answers - can edit, delete
2. Comments - can edit, delete
3. Answers that act like comments and show indented under the question - can’t edit, can’t delete, can’t see on mobile. These seem to be coming from email responses.

I can replicate this.
Replying to a notification from a Q&A style topic by email inserts the post as an embedded reply rather than a post within the topic:
This is then undeletable/uneditable through the UI.

These ones shouldn’t exist. 🙂 I think the email-in is getting muddled with the Q&A format.
