Description
Right now in ATAK chat, text messages sent from some remote Meshtastic-only devices are received like they're coming from your own local node address.
In consequence, chatting from ATAK to Mestastic devices is very cumbersome - you receive messages in chat window of your node, but you have to send them using chat window of remote node. Also, in the case of multiple remote nodes, received messages are all mangled together under one chat window, making the issue much worse.
Replying in the same chat window as received message means sending reply to yourself (from ATAK app to your own Meshtastic app), which I hardly imagine being useful in any way. All of this means, that it is easier to reply by switching to Meshtastic app instead of using ATAK chat functionality.
Given you own local node is already a special case regarding its position on a map (can be hidden in settings), I want to suggest the feature for making your own local node transparent to the chat as well. It would allow for sending and receiving messages from remote node in one chat window, thus removing the need for switching to Meshtastic app.
