Right now, when receiving notifications from mentions, there is not an immediate visual indicator as to whether it is a personal message or a group message.

You can mouse over the `@` icon to see `Mention` or `Group Mention`, but that requires a mouse and direct interaction. Could something be done to the icon to show visually that one is a group mention?
