will these messages contain who sent the message on behalf of what subreddit?

I just tested out the modmail feature, and unlike modmailing a user directly, you can't hide your username in a modmail-to-modmail modmail.

Heya, answers inline.

Knowing this will eventually be abused, will these messages contain who sent the message on behalf of what subreddit?

Yes - it will display both the author of the message, and the subreddit for which they are sending it

Are subreddit -> subreddit messages filtered or highlighted in a different way so other mods see the sent message?

Currently we don’t have plans to filter or highlight these messages differently. This is mentioned this elsewhere in this thread but initially we’re going to monitor the volume of this type of conversation before building additional things like special filters for them.

How is abuse of this going to be managed?

Similar to other modmails today, you’ll be able to report these messages to our safety team should you need to. Additionally you’ll be able to mute these messages.

One specific thing to note about mutes for sr-to-sr modmails here: Similar to modmails now, mutes will happen at the author level: if someone sends you a subreddit 2 subreddit modmail and you want to mute them, it will not mute the whole subreddit (or the other moderators of the subreddit). This is for two reasons: first, we wanted to keep the feature in line with how mutes are managed now (having two separate surfaces for muted users and muted subreddits felt overkill), and second, we didn’t want to default to throwing out an entire community’s mods simply because one was overreacting.
