 Hello,

 When using the BP REST API "messages" endpoint, the data returned in the
 "recipients" section as part of the messages payload does not contain the
 member's name (but it does contain avatar information). This means that
 the party calling the API needs to then perform multiple API calls to the
 “members” endpoint using the respective member IDs to retrieve member
 information before it can be presented to the user (for example, in our
 case we are displaying basic member information such as their name and
 avatar in an Inbox/Starred/Outbox interface). Can the “name” information
 be added to the recipients section to bypass the need to call the members
 endpoint?

 Thanks.
