No, you're the 2nd, actually. :)

You can see a bunch of them if you press ctrl+p to bring up the pallette and
select "Theme". If you find the one you like, you can set that via
"TEXTUAL_THEME" env var.

Just pressing "r" to reply should bring up the usual reply with everything
quoted, unless we're actually stripping the basement there. The recommended
workflow is to add your inline comments first and then press "r" -- this
*should* load up the commit message with your inline comments. Or you can jump
to "r" directly and work with it as with any email client.

If there are parts missing in quoted content, please let me know!

This is a gotcha. If you're in a review branch, we just show you the review
branch and skip the tracking app -- since we assume you just want to work on
the branch that you have checked out. There should be a big long-lasting
pop-up that tells you how to get back to the tracking app (switch back to a
non-review branch).
