 1. Reply by email should now be working.
 
+## Email namespace
+
+If you need to implement a new feature which requires a new email handler, follow these rules:
+
+ - You must choose a namespace. The namespace cannot contain `/` or `+`, and cannot match `\h{16}`.
+ - If your feature is related to a project, you will append the namespace **after** the project path, separated by a `+`
+ - If you have different actions in the namespace, you add the actions **after** the namespace separated by a `+`. The action name cannot contain `/` or `+`, , and cannot match `\h{16}`.
+ - You will register your handlers in `lib/gitlab/email/handler.rb`
+
+Therefore, these are the only valid formats for an email handler:
+
+ - `path/to/project+namespace`
+ - `path/to/project+namespace+action`
+ - `namespace`
+ - `namespace+action`
+
+Please note that `path/to/project` is used in GitLab Premium as handler for the Service Desk feature.
