Irc chatbot direct reply to a user message

I have a chatbot that sends a message directly to a single user. The chatbot captures the tags from the last incoming message from that user and uses the tag to reply. This all works but Twitch then first put out a message the following messages on the user chat screen:

Replying to : the last message the user sent.

Twitch then outputs the new message from the chatbot.

Question: Is there a way to tell Twitch to not put out the “Replying to” message?

Or is there a different way to reply directly to a user.

Instead of doing a threaded reply just @ the user instead?

You cannot change the behaviour of first party with regards to the thread decoration

Barry,

First thanks for the quick reply.

Using the user-id worked.
Thanks
Graham
