I want to make a retweet with IFTTT like it was done in the old days (since it's the only way you can retweet with IFTTT) by reposting the tweet and adding
RT: @user
in the message. But in the new tweet the "@" doesn't appear:
Does anyone know how to fix this?

IFTTT indeed prevents recipes from posting the @ sign. I believe this is a condition set by twitter to prevent IFTTT from spamming users.
The way around this is in fact using two separate IFTTT recipes:
username
,text
etc... and assemble this info to compose the exact wording of the tweets you wish to send in a dedicated cell.Posting from Google Sheets should resolve the problem.
