Description

In the direct messages list, we should add a "(you)" indicator next to your name (i.e., DMs with yourself). It should be at reduced opacity compared to the name itself.

We should do the same in the view-reactions sheet, and (when implemented) the list of users.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the existing implementation in recipient headers (PR #1319) to understand the pattern for adding a '(you)' indicator. Then replicate it in the direct messages list and view reactions sheet, ensuring reduced opacity.
