Replying from Matrix to Telegram doesn't ping the user #28

When somebody on Matrix replies to a user that is on Telegram, the reply addresses the Telegram user by "nickname (Telegram):", so the Telegram user is not pinged and may miss the reply. I believe that if the Telegram room saw "@nickname" instead of "nickname (Telegram):", the user to which the reply goes would be notified about it.

Did you already try sending a manual @someone reply into a bridged room and check for its effects?

How do we know what to put in place of @someone when we only receive Telegram firstname and lastname and not the actual username that is used for mentioning?

This can be fixed by the mention API, as proposed by #36
