Currently when a user without access to chat is mentioned in a chat or direct messaged

1. The mentioned user doesn’t get notified

2. The poster doesn’t know that the user they mentioned or messaged doesn’t get notified

I think #2 needs to change so that the poster does get some type of indication that the user they want to chat without doesn’t have access.
