Is it possible to suppress the reply button in emails if the user doesn’t have permission to reply. This can be misleading to someone who can’t reply in a category they get emails on.

This is kind of a bug, we should not be showing a reply button, or telling people they can reply if they only have “see” permission to a category.
Minor, but a bug.

Gotcha, any plans for it being on the roadmap for this version?

I am not sure how to answer this, bugs don’t find their way into the roadmaps, they get fixed as we go.

@Jared_Needell
Could you describe the steps to reproduce this issue?
I receive this message
“Visit Topic to respond.
To stop receiving notifications for this particular topic, click here.
To unsubscribe from these emails, change your user preferences.”
when I don’t have permissions to reply to a topic. Do you want the “to respond” to be hidden?

Correct, it’s misleading to suggest responding to the email when they don’t have the permissions to do so.
