# gmail-reply-draft-integrity — Reply drafts keep the whole thread, read cleanly, and end with a one-click link to the ready-to-send draft in Gmail.

Exercised against a connected Google account; the agent stages the draft, the user always sends from Gmail.

1. I'm in OpenWork, and Sarah's thread about the Q3 launch has been going back and forth for days. I ask OpenWork to reply to her latest email and confirm that Thursday works.

2. OpenWork reads the thread through my connected Google account first, so the reply is written in context — it knows who said what and where the conversation left off.

3. It stages my reply as a draft on the same thread — same "Re: Q3 launch" subject, threaded onto the conversation, not a new orphaned email.

4. When I look at the draft, my reply sits on top and the entire conversation trail is quoted right below it — "On Tuesday, Sarah wrote:" and everything that came before. Nothing from the thread is lost.

5. The text reads like an email a person wrote: real paragraphs, no weird mid-sentence line breaks, no stray markdown symbols.

6. And OpenWork finishes by handing me the link — one click opens the ready-to-send draft in Gmail, and I hit send myself.
