Hi folks,
I searched this forum but I was not able to find anything. I apologize if this has already been answered somewhere else.
I am curious if it is possible to get the `reply_key` for the purpose of making it easy for people to start or reply to a new discussion via email.
Here is the workflow I am thinking of, I hope it makes sense.
I am using discourse to power the comments section of my blog. The form loads just fine and life is good. [Lev Lazinskiy](https://levlaz.org/flashy-is-back-from-the-dead/#discourse-comments)
In addition, I added a link to the top that lets people know that they can create a comment via email.
> You can add a comment via [Email]([mailto:levlaz.discourse+mail@gmail.com](mailto:levlaz.discourse+mail@gmail.com)?subject=Comment for Flashy is Back From the Dead). Or use the embedded discourse form shown below:
This link uses the inbound email configuration for the site.
Right now, if someone sends a reply via email I will go and manually merge the topics.
## Main Question
Is it possible to somehow get the actual `reply_key` and use that for the `mailto` link?
This would eliminate the manual step in the process of me having to go merge topics.
