rawContent containing RT @@handle some text

[stygmate]

sometime rawContent contain things like RT @@handle @otherhandle [...] some text. Maybe related to this code: https://github.com/vladkens/twscrape/blob/745bc59b662b72e46b0f5277e369767f2b318c06/twscrape/models.py#L237C48-L237C48

@vladkens I don't have fully understand the annotation # if login changed, old login can be cached in rawContent, so use less strict check but the actual code always produce RT with incorect syntax (when truncated) as rt_msg = f"{prefix}{rt.rawContent}" with prefix = "RT @" always throw things like : RT @the original message.

for me the correct code seems to be:
