How can you send an iMessage via email I received a message today that I want to reply via email. I Googled this, but the solution I received does not work on my iPhone. The solution was posted in 2013, and may reflect the state of iOS at that time, but doesn't work with iOS 13+. What is the new way to do this?

If the email account is also registered as an iMessage account, yes. Otherwise, no.
