Description

### Steps to reproduce

Open a chat in Element X.
Send a message with a quote containing a full Matrix ID: `> @user:matrix.org`
Compare the result by sending a markdown quote with a display name mention: `> @[User Name]`

### Outcome

In Element X, a message containing a Markdown quote renders correctly if the user mention uses the display name format (`@[Display Name]`). However, including a full Matrix ID (`@nickname:homeserver.abc`) within the quote syntax causes the entire message event to fail or render incorrectly.

#### What did you expect?
Expected Result: Both mention formats should be rendered correctly within the blockquote.

#### What happened instead?
Actual Result: The message containing the full Matrix ID within the quote breaks the message event.
