Re: [Fle3-dev] Relocating "reply", changing "censoring"

[Jukka K Purma]

Hi,
when you're at it, could you also add such condition that if there is only

selection concerning it hidden? I know it's a bit against knowledge
building idea, but sometimes it's acceptable, for example we have one
course where message topics are heavily structured.
