Adding '@' tag to a chatter post from Apex

Hi All,

 

I am trying to figure out how to direct a chatter post at a user when it is created in Apex. Looking at existing posts, the Body just contains '@ Sample User'. However, simply adding that text to the body of a new Chatter post in Apex yields just plain text. When creating in the UI, the syntax @[Sample User] is used, but in Apex this generates the same plain text result.

 

Has anyone figured out how to successfully direct an Apex created FeedItem (Chatter Post) at another user?

 

Thanks,

DH

Currently REST API is the only way to do it....
