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.
