The reaction email doesn't have some specific header that can be used to block it?
That would be a pretty suboptimal user experience for both parties, don't you think?

The distance between "didn't care to respond" and a thumbs up emoji response is measured in angstroms.
I suppose it'd be OK if the other side of your TCP connections stopped sending ACKs.

The UX problem is you send an e-mail, and someone "thumbs up" a response, and then you block the response and assume that they didn't care to respond, while they think they have responded.
No. When you block an email the sender will get a notification email from their mail server that their message was blocked. They will not assume anything for very long.
And if that blocked message was a reaction I’d assume I can move on: they sent an email, I sent a response, they refused to accept it and then spammed me to boot.
Oh, this is good to know! I haven't encountered this issue personally yet, but maybe once I've updated my mailserver, I won't encounter it in the future. Now to figure out how to stop the same thing happening in SMS.
You'll be glad to hear that SMS already doesn't have reactions
Welcome to the future.

This is cute, but not how email communication works. There's no need for explicit answer to any email, otherwise people would never stop responding.
Obviously context dependent. For time-sensitive emails, it’s common to follow up with a call if receipt isn’t acknowledged.

Really?
I kind of get why we don’t like this in email, but for SMS and Slack I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reactions. They’re a way to say “I received this and have a positive reaction to it, with no further communication necessary”. Replaces a lot of useless typing I had to do to sound polite when saying “fine, no further comment”. And then getting a notification from the other party acknowledging my acknowledgment… yuck.

liked your message

With a thumbs-up I know they've read it, and that's worth quiet a bit in this asynchronous communication world of ours.
