Feature request: Archiving messages
First, love this, thanks so much for all the work done!
Title is pretty much self-explanatory, but... can it be done?
Thanks Alex!
You mean you want to read archived messages? As in scroll up like you do in the browser client? It's a feature request we looked into, haven't had that much time to dig deeper into it, but it is possible to pull more messages, we just have to find a way to display it properly in the console.
That would be great too, but what I meant was archiving messages so they're not in the inbox anymore (and not in the header).
The command equivalent of this on Facebook:
Thinking about this I'm not sure it's possible with our current UI. We'd have to navigate through the message and select them for archiving. Do you have a suggestion?
I was thinking less about archiving them from a list and more of archiving them from the conversation.
For example, when I know I'm done talking with someone for the time being, I'll go ahead and archive the conversation. So an /archive command to go along with /back, /exit, would be perfect, for my use case at least.
@derBingle I think you would have to find a messenger API endpoint that will do this for you; once you find that, it shouldn't be too hard to add in an "/archive" command in a conversation.
