While Dux works on a reply, or someone at Start9 is typing one, the chat says so. You can keep writing in the meantime; Dux answers everything you sent together.

- **Open** — the chat is active.
- **Paused until** a time — Start9 has set the chat aside until then, usually while waiting on something. You can still write in it.

## Closing and Reopening
## Closing a Chat

A chat closes when:

- **You close it**, with **Close chat** in the message field.
- **Start9 closes it**, usually once the problem is solved. Dux may close a chat it has handled alone, with a final reply.
- **Nobody writes in it for a while.** An inactive chat closes on its own, but never while you are waiting on a person or Helix is investigating.
- **Nobody writes in it for a while.** An inactive chat closes on its own, but never while you are waiting on a person or Helix is investigating. The chat says it closed due to inactivity.

If [chat transcripts](email.md) are on, a copy of a closed chat is emailed to you.
To pick a closed chat back up, choose **Continue in a new chat** at the bottom of it and write your first message. The new chat is linked to the old one, and Dux starts from its notes on the case. A chat can be continued once; after that, its link takes you to the newer chat.

To pick a closed chat back up, choose **Reopen chat** at the bottom of it. A chat closed a long time ago continues in a new chat instead, linked to the old one.
## Exporting a Chat

**Download as a zip**, under **Export** in **Chat info**, saves the whole chat: a `chat.md` file with every message in order and Dux's notes on the case, and an `attachments` folder with the files. If the chat continues an earlier one, that chat comes along too.

Your private notes and attachments are in a separate `private` folder. Delete that folder before you pass the zip on to anyone.

# Email

Start9 Support emails you about your chats in two ways, both on by default: a reminder when a reply goes unread, and a transcript when a chat closes. This page covers both and how to turn them off.
Start9 Support emails you a reminder when a reply goes unread. This page covers it and how to turn it off.

## Unread-Reply Reminders

When a reply from Start9 has gone unread for a while, you are emailed a reminder. **Settings** says how long it waits. The reminder links to the chat; reply there, in Start9 Support.

## Chat Transcripts
Chats themselves are not emailed. To keep a copy of one, [export it](chats.md#exporting-a-chat).

When a chat closes, you are emailed a copy of it: every message with its author and time, and the names of its attachments. Private notes and attachments appear by label only.
## Turning Reminders Off

## Turning Them Off

Each is a switch under **Email** in **Settings**: **Unread reply reminders** and **Chat transcripts**. Every reminder and transcript also carries a link that turns that kind of email off without signing in.
