XEP-0313: do not store type groupchat in user archives
An update to the MAM XEP to reflect real word situation where implementations don't actually store group chat messages into the user archive.
Change made after discussion on mailing list. cc @mwild1
@Kev That's exactly what it's saying. Contacts shouldn't be able to choose what happens to your archive.
If this:
A MUC archives allows a user to view the conversation within a room. All messages sent to the room that contain either a <body> element or a <store/> hint (&xep0334;) SHOULD
is the line that is causing issues here I'm happy to remove in order to get the way more important not storing type=groupchat in user archives statement merged.
The mailing list discussion is here: https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/2017-November/thread.html#33917
The conclusion appears to be to allow servers to store groupchat messages in the user's own MAM archive, but to not return them by default.
E.g. Saying it shouldn’t store them isn’t helpful, but I’m ok with not returning them by default. We can add further filtering in other XEPs, I think. by @Kev
In light of this, can this PR be closed, or should it be updated?
