Message Actions are nifty timesavers for common actions in Flock. When you need to copy a message or delete it or even set a reminder, using Message Actions is the fastest way to do it.
By default, Message Actions are invisible so there is no clutter in your conversations. To access them, hover the mouse cursor over a message - a small slider menu shows up on the top-right of the message, with frequently used actions.
