Description

When I joined a new team and started using nextCloud Talk, I couldn't find a useful feature that I had seen in other messaging apps.
It allows me to send a single message to a group of people, but each person receives it individually.

This is different from creating a group where everyone can see each other's responses. Instead, the recipients of the message cannot see who else received it, and they can also reply to the message privately.

Some apps implement this feature as a forwarding option to a message already sent, this will allow sharing a single message to other people separately while indicating that the message was forwarded.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing Talk message-forwarding and recipient-delivery behavior, then define how separate recipients and private replies should work; done means each recipient receives an individual forwarded message without seeing the others.
