Use quotation marks for thread titles in notifications

When a notification refers to new comments in a comment thread that I am following, the title of the comment thread is in single quotes, and the title of the post is also in single quotes, making it easy to distinguish each of the titles from the rest of the sentence. However, when a notification refers to a mention (as a result of someone using "@" to mention me by username), the title of the post is in single quotes but the title of the comment thread is not, making the sentence potentially confusing.

For example, the following screenshot shows 2 notifications:

• The first is for a mention, and has no quotes around the comment thread title (which is "Warnings").
• The second is for new comments in a comment thread, and has single quotes around the comment thread title (which is "Alternative function IO").

Could notifications about mentions also have single quotes around the comment thread title?

For consistency with the other type of notification and for clarity, it might also be better to say:

You were mentioned in a comment in the thread 'Warnings' on the post ...

rather than:

You were mentioned in a comment on 'Warnings' on the post ...

Here bold is used solely to indicate the differences between the 2 wordings.
