> Currently, staged users with \`private\_email enabled\` receiv…e emails without any content or link to the topic the conversation is taking place on, making it impossible to navigate to it. This PR adds the response instruction section, which contains the \`topic\_url\` when this happens, so staged users can visit the topic.
