Understand How Default Values for Case Emails Work
There are lots of ways to control the default values your support reps see when
responding to customer cases using email. Depending on your business needs, you can set up
different types of default field values using various methods.
Use this Apex interface to override email field values based on complex logic. For
example, you can use this Apex interface to apply a specific email template and BCC a manager
on high priority cases.
Defaults set with this interface override all other default settings.
Predefined Field Values set up for the Email quick action
Use predefined field values for adding people to email threads. You can also use
predefined field values to ensure that emails are associated with Salesforce records.
If the Apex interface isn’t configured for a field specified using predefined
field values, these values populate next.
Automatic Reply, Reply All, and Forward field values
Use these carry-over fields for basic email functionality. When an email is in response
to an existing email, field values like the To, From, Subject, and Body fields are
auto-populated with the previous values.
This functionality is provided out-of-the-box and
doesn’t require configuration.

Carry-over fields from a previous email populate next.
Default Email Template set up for the Email quick action
Use the Default Email Template setting on the Email quick action to always apply
a custom email template to the body of the email. Setting up a default template helps
your support reps send consistent messages quickly.
If the body of the email hasn’t been populated by the Apex interface or by a
Reply, Reply All, or Forward message, the default email template is applied
next.
