:tell fails for users in another room. #31

Closed cburschka closed 8 years ago

cburschka commented 8 years ago

When Ligrev is in two rooms (eg rp and lounge), you can't :tell X in lounge if user X is online and in rp.

Ideally, Ligrev should accept the message and deliver it instantly in that case.

Note that once Ligrev formats users with the right data attributes, clicking on the sender will put /dmsg <JID> into the text field, so you can then communicate directly without sending everything through :tell.

This is by design. The intent is that, if a user is online already, they should use /dmsg to contact the user themselves. This way a user cannot simply 'bypass' XMPP blocklist features such as XEP-0191 and XEP-0016.

Perhaps once :tell blocking (#19) is implemented, this could be a potential feature, but as it is, I don't see any reason to reinvent the /dmsg wheel.
