Adding the ability to have a reply message include content tagged as a
reaction adds to the semantics of email exchange.
When I think of reactions, I think of providing a UI to add a "Like" button or
similar. That seems separate to me from replies, and in some cases replaces it.
Having the the user readable part allows you to do a reply should you desire,
but I suspect the primary kind of implementation for this kind of feature is a
one-hit button for indicating a reaction to a message, similar to the sort that
I've seen for implementing "I read this." Both MDNs and a reaction strike me as
"add this adornment to the sender's message" rather than "send this message as
a reply to the sender's message". MDNs seems semantically closer to the
purpose, and the implementation of adding a reaction, both on the sender's side
and the receiver's side, seems closer to MDNs.
+1, this seems similar to the return receipt behavior. My MUA is configured to
always ask whether to acknowledge or ignore a Disposition-Notification-To:
request. It is a kind of reaction indeed.
