* Add ability to set In-Reply-To tag This is useful to reply to a specific email, e.g. to a patch sent by email on a mailing list. Please note that both the In-Reply-To and the References tags are filled-in. In theory, only the In-Reply-To tag should be enough but they are both linked to the same idea and in theory most emails readers should support a Message-ID given in In-Reply-To tag. So just in case, we fill both to imitate many email clients. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Baerts <matthieu.baerts@tessares.net> * Update test.yml Co-authored-by: Dawid Dziurla <dawidd0811@gmail.com>

Troubleshooting
Gmail
Gmail security settings may cause this Action to fail. This failure may involve a message in the GitHub Actions details about access being denied and an email from Google to the email account being used about a sign-in being blocked and why.
Changes in Gmail settings may be necessary to get this action to work.
- Google treats this method of using email as a "Less Secure App". However, "Less Secure Apps" can be enabled in Google profile settings.
- IMAP needs to be enabled in Gmail settings as described here.
- If the Gmail account you're trying to use in this Action is already 2FA (Two Factor Authentication) enabled, the 2FA password will need to be provided as well, which isn't included in the default template.
Users who have had problems have reported success by doing each of these three steps or by doing the first two steps and using a Gmail account that didn't have 2FA enabled.
Unauthenticated login (username/password fields)
The parameters username and password are set as optional to support self-hosted runners access to on-premise infrastructure. If
you are accessing public email servers make sure you provide a username/password authentication through GitHub Secrets to make the email delivery secure.
