When sending a too short reply such as “testing reply by e-mail”, I am getting an e-mail back:

> We’re sorry, but your email message to [“[discoursereplies+redacted.org](http://discoursereplies+redacted.org)”] (titled Re: forum thread title didn’t work.

> Do you use more than one email address? Did you reply from a different email address? Email replies require that you use the same email address when replying. Alternately, the Message-ID header in the email may have been modified.

But longer multiple line, multiple sentences reply goes through.

The error message is therefore wrong.

Could you please provide a better error message in this case?

Can minimum message length be configured? Is there a different setting for replies in forums versus by e-mail?

Similar to [Confused by Error Message From Reply-by-Email](https://meta.discourse.org/t/confused-by-error-message-from-reply-by-email/139841) but a different issue.
