Send m.notice messages #21

Closed auscompgeek closed 4 years ago

auscompgeek commented 4 years ago

The m.notice type is primarily intended for responses from automated clients.

https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.0#m-notice

It is polite for bots to always send m.notice rather than m.text so that others can determine whether a message was from a bot.

It doesn't do this because the WhatsApp bridge doesn't propagate these

auscompgeek commented 4 years ago

Well, what if we added in a hack to send m.text if it's from a WhatsApp ghost?

pwr22 commented 4 years ago

That doesn't handle the case where I'm sending a message to a family member in a WhatsApp chat but from my matrix account 🤔.

Better would be to give the bridge m.notice support I think
