Deltachat-desktop: Disable "Reply to Message"

[ralphtheninja]

The message context menu has functionality for replying to messages. Afaik it's nothing we do in delta?

Also see https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop/issues/143

yes, currently this should be disabled.
for the mid-future or so, this may come as a feature to the core, however. seems to be a hard requirement for mailing lists but, of course, also useful for normal chats.

Lets keep it not functional for now. We _can_ disable it, but involves changing conversations module just to be able do disable something, which would only be a temporary thing and removed later.

yes -- was also eg wondering if a bot-reply could rather make a certain icon
appear within a message that contains a links like "cached" or "pdf" or so.
but that's a separate issue ;)

also, on desktop there is more space to render a "reply-to" message next
to the message-being-replied to. then again, i don't know about good practises,
examples how threading in a chat app is shown (except for the way how Matrix does
it when gatewaying into IRC ...)

all chat app i know only show a short quote over the message on replies. i do not know of a chat app that does real threading.

chat/threading is maybe a question we can refer to the otf usability lab (CC @xeniax)

It seems it's disabled now but not sure how that happened. @Jikstra Did you change anything?
