In the Discord official client, you can right-click on a message to quote it and it will paste the contents of the message in the chatbox with quotation formatting (the '>' symbol with a space after it) and a mention of the user you're quoting. It makes it really easy to reply to someone in larger & faster chatrooms. I suppose it would also be nice to have Ripcord support displaying Discord's quote format similarily to the official client, but I guess that's for another ticket.

I'm wary of adding more "parser" logic to Discord's chat text stuff... it's already very ambiguous and differs between the mobile clients and web clients. Any time Ripcord doesn't match with whatever other client the user expects it to, they get angry. But I'll think about it.

The right-click action to quote the message isn't a bad idea, though.
