Seems to be a lot of dissent around this idea. I think if you send the original message to my email, and make reply-to without your app easy (or transparent or whatever), then you're just making it easier for other users to email me and that's OK.

If I have to sign up to your service to read or reply to the message then it would be spam.

That's how we have it :-) Albeit with a call to action in the footer of the message to sign up. If you, don't though it will continue to work
