Hello,

Please correct me if I am wrong. Discourse does recognise but I believe you need reply by email enabled on the site. I’m unsure if this creates a PM on the forum or sends the user an email.

If you want you can just add the names in. You shouldn’t have to type the whole username as discourse shows you some prompts of what the username could be.
