A message was replied to

An event with an event_type of 18 gets broadcast to all rooms the user is in. In addition to this, a "new message" event gets sent to the room the message was posted in. If a reply was added to an existing message via an edit, then instead of a "new message" event being posted, a "message edited" event is posted (event_type = 2)
