So @Falco flagged a post and I acted on it, which results in a PM with an original sender and a reply from a moderator.

Here’s what I see on my end:

Here’s what he sees on his end:

That doesn’t seem right.

p.s. Especially with the advent of improved [group mentions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/group-mentions-and-messages/36228), should a Group also be listed as a participant in the user list? Before any individual moderator has acted on the PM, this is a PM between `@userX` and `@moderators`.

I think treating Moderators as just another user to list in the participants list makes sense as a way to see at a glance who can see this message.
