Reply to a message
cooper_reply_messageUse this when you need to answer a message already in a Cooper inbox, with recipients and threading filled in for you. Requires auth. Sends real email and stores the copy on the same thread. Inputs: inbox_id (required; inbox id, username, or email), message_id (required), text and/or html (one is required), reply_all (optional; default false; when true, also include the other original To and Cc addresses, merge cc, drop this inbox, and dedupe), cc, bcc, attachments, labels, include_signature (optional boolean; default true; false skips the inbox signature), client_id (optional idempotency key; a retry returns the original message and does not send again). An inbound reply goes to Reply-To or From. A reply to mail you sent goes to the original To. The subject gains Re: unless it already starts with re:. Returns the stored message. Fails with 400 missing_body, 400 missing_to, 403 recipient_blocked, 403 recipient_suppressed, 403 inbox_paused, 403 sending_paused, 404 message_not_found, 404 inbox_not_found, or 402 when the monthly send limit is reached. Sending resumes automatically when the trailing 7-day rate falls below the pause threshold.
