Mention everyone on a stream
You can mention everyone on a stream with the @**all** mention. Use
sparingly! Used improperly, wildcard mentions can be annoying.
Note that this will not notify anyone who has muted the stream, and users can disable receiving email/push notifications for these wildcard mentions, either globally or for individual streams.
