Differentiate the speaker and the pinged person in message previews #1603

In the message previews in the room list, if someone starts a message by pinging someone else, it is confusing that both the speaker and the pinged person names are written in the same font. Not a blocker but makes me constantly double-take to understand who is saying what. Differentiating the name of the speaker in the preview would also make it more obvious which are my messages and which were sent by others.

For visibility, going to reiterate here what i suggested in my duplicate issue:

How would you like to achieve it?

When the sidebar has "show previews of messages" enabled, it would be great to simply prepend "me:" in front of the message preview if it was from me, and nothing (the current situation) if it was from someone else.

Have you considered any alternatives?

An alternative is to always put the name of the last person who spoke in the room. This opens up a lot of complexity, as users may or may not have set a friendly display name, have funky characters in their name, etc.

"me:" keeps it simple while solving the issue
