I agree: if we want to use `@name` it should be ‘hardcoded’ in preview pane, otherwise someone may want to explicitly start a reply with `@name` which will cause ugly duplicate (I’ve seen some people add `@name` in replies for clarity reasons).

I guess we also want to differentiate between _causal mention_s and _direct replies_, so perhaps we could combine A&B:

**C:** B + arrow from A
