Discussed in https://github.com/d99kris/nchat/discussions/150

Originally posted by **philjohne** November 12, 2023 It would be nice to be able to forward messages to select recipients. As advised in the chat room, I am opening a feature request. Forwarding a message to 'Saved Messages' is a feature I rely on heavily in the normal Desktop client. It is an easy way to stay organized and I think many people use Telegram this way. But of course I am thinking about forwarding a message to a channel in general. 'Saved Messages' is just a prominent example. Forwarding messages to other contacts is, at least for me, an integral part of messaging, so I think this feature would increase the overall utility of the command line utility.

Will add functionality to allow forwarding selected message with Alt/Opt-f (configurable key binding forward_msg) to existing chats (chat dialog listing ordered by last message timestamp by default, but can be configured to alphabetical with chat_picker_sorted_alphabetically).
