💡 Add message content variable

[MarcusOtter]

Describe the improvement

Luzifer Senpai#7762 on Discord:

Can we eventually get a option to add the original user message as a text? So that, when we archive a thread and eventually delete the message(to remove clutter from the channel) we still see the message for us admins.

Problems this improvement solves

Some people want to move the messages to the thread when it's created. This would give them an option to do so.

Not planned as Needle is supposed to do auto-threading. If you want a channel with only threads (but no starting messages), set the permissions to not allow messages but allow new threads to be made. Might be added in the future if there's a good case for it, but not planned right now.

Aha, but there is a use case: seeing you are typing you title regex on.

From DoNotResuscitate#8265 on Discord:

Is there any way to see the whole message that needle is parsing?
If I wanted to try and also pull out time info I'm not entirely certain how to whole modal is being spit out to be parsed

We should add this and if the message content ends up being more than 2k, just cut it off and add an elipse.

It also makes it easier for people to put the NICKNAME - MESSAGE CONTENT in the title without having to use regex. Today you would have to write something like $USER_NICKNAME - /^[\S\s]*/i, but with this they could write something like $USER_NICKNAME - $MESSAGE_CONTENT.
