  Issue Description

  I am trying to add mention entity to my reply activities as described in this article. When I send the reply constructed with the code below I get no actual reply from the bot in the channel.

Example Code

var reply = activity.CreateReply();
var replyText = "test";

var entity = new Entity();
entity.SetAs(new Mention
{
    Text = replyText,
    Mentioned = new ChannelAccount
    {
        Name = activity.From?.Name,
        Id = activity.From?.Id
    }
});

reply.Entities.Add(entity);

await Connector.Conversations.ReplyToActivityAsync(reply);

Expected Behavior

This is how replies look like in Telegram when you do it as a user from UI: http://imgur.com/pzYvV2C

It is possible that Name and Id are reversed, or missing. can you check that these values are the expected values? We have another bug in Activity.From that may be the reason you are experiencing this.

So I decide to check if this is working few versions later. Nope still doesn't. @JasonSowers tried switching Name and Id around - didn't help.
