Mentions and notifications #
When a message is quoted, the user whose message was quoted will receive a notification. Also, the quoted message is visible in the Mentions and reactions section. However, if a user quotes their own message, it will not be shown in their Mentions and reactions section.
The quoted message is a snapshot of the original and will not change if the message is later modified.
