The user reading a message could select an emoji or insert a comment in 
a short reaction text field.
For both cases a reaction email will be sent by the client.
For the comments (reaction text) the user doesn’t need to pass through 
the “standard” path to compose a reply message.

On the opposite, when a client displays a message it can “add” a view of 
the reactions (emoji, text or both). The reaction text is not threated 
like a reply message.

I think that we can see the benefits mainly on small displays, like 
smartphone.

.... I agree with you that keeping the ask small is a good idea and that 
we can always extend the specification in the future.
