Bug description

You could say this isn't a bug because it's just a feature that's missing but, logically, I would have to think that it was intended to be possible, so it is in fact a bug.

If you have multiple photos in a single message, you can't single out one of them and reply to it. The only options are: edit, save, and delete. This is problematic because sets are used all the time for "which sort of ice cream do you want" kind of questions. I can't quote back the image and say "this one" so I have to waste time with lots of wording to describe the one-of-N images that I want to comment on. It's worse, actually, because I have to lose the context of the image itself and then comment back from memory in a new text message.

It would be MUCH more efficient to reply directly to the image itself and say "this flavor but without the chocolate sprinkles". That sort of thing.
