   1. Notices echoed by the group will look like the group is the

      notice will be resent with the author='groupname', and have the
      text: '♺ @fred hey everyone'. Alternative: the author looks like
      fred, and there is some extra metadata that says the notice is
      'via' the group.

So, the big problem here is that if you're a member of group groupname and also subbed to fred, you get two messages with almost identical content. You don't want that.

So, instead I've made it so the original notice goes into the inboxes of all group members, with a flag that says why it got there (group membership).

I think it should actually be a little more readable, and we don't have to worry about truncation etc. Also, the name of the group will be right there in the message, so it's not like you won't be able to figure it out.
