I love seeing new "email-first" apps - most of the mailing lists I've used have now moved to either G+ discussion groups or Discourse, so will be interesting to see if this sticks.

Are all email clients supported (Outlook, native mobile, Gmail)? From the screenshot it looks like there are HTML buttons to do most of the commands - will these work outside of Gmail or do they rely on some kind of browser extension?

Hey Swanson, I'm Jared, another Threadable founder.

The email buttons are HTML. We test them using Litmus, and they work well across all major clients. We need to do a bit more styling for older versions of Outlook, though. That's on the road map in the next week or two.

So I assume the buttons are just links then? Can't submit forms in most email clients :)

Yep, styled links!
