C# - Bot Emulator @Mentions Empty in Message object

See original GitHub issue

I am using the Bot Emulator and typing into the window the following message: What time is it for @paul at 2 in the afternoon?

In the Microsoft.Bot.Connector.Message class I was expecting the mentions property on the object to be populated with paul or @paul

I am not entirely sure if this is a bug or me not understanding how this property gets populated in the API

oh dang, that’s a good idea. The emulator is currently only detects mentioning the bot by appId, aka @FooBot will show up in the mentions. But just doing it as a simulated user is a good idea, I will update it.
