Mail web - respond to email in the middle of a conversation thread

Since there appears to be no way to turn off conversation view in the web version of mail (accessing on my work Windows computer), is there a way to respond to an email in the middle of a conversation? I forwarded an email from my kid's school to my wife and she responded to me. All of these emails are in the same thread with the latest email from my wife on top. When I select the email from the school further down in the thread and hit respond it defaults to responding to my wife and not back to the school. I can't respond to the original email anymore in the web version.


Any suggestions?

Hi obone,


We certainly understand how that may have gotten confusing. In iCloud Mail on the iCloud website, you can reply directly to the sender of a message with the Reply icon in the bottom right corner of the message pane. Reply to or forward email in Mail on iCloud.com explains:

Reply to or forward an email
1. In Mail on iCloud.com, select the message in your message list, then click the Reply, Reply All, Forward button.
2. Do one of the following:
* Reply to the message you’re reading: Click Reply or Reply All.
* Reply All sends your response to the sender and all of the original recipients of the message.
