It’s not that I have mentioned myself in a conversation, i just posted a link to previous comment of mine (within the same thread).
apparently the first lines of the post along with my name were included in the message, therefore the mention to myself.
I don’t think mentioning to yourself should count as a mention.
and i’m not too sure about when a post gets embedded if that should be counted as being mentioned, either.

What? You got it for mentioning @riking in this post

> @riking: I didn’t think of the complexities that would imply by letting people update their posts. I think if the philosophy is to have a “flat tree”, then all replies to the original post should link to very first post id. SettingIn-Reply-To to the last post made will make the email client display the conversation as a tree with as many levels as posts are in the thread. So I guess implementing the changes I suggest in [Discourse Emails not threaded properly in some Email clients](https://meta.discourse.org/t/emails-not-threaded/44444/6) will suf…
That is a mention. 36 minutes ago just like the badge…
