[JDEV] filtering and delaying messages

[Al Sutton]

I'm looking to do the same thing, but I'm going to do it from the server
end.

The client end isn't really an option because the user may run jabber
clients from many places, and thus any messages pulled by one client aren't
available elsewhere even if the user has not seen them.
