[JDEV] Jabber Clients: sending a single message to more than one person

[Robert Temple]

We are going to need a way to have an agent send the same message to
multiple recipients.   It sure would be nice if
the server had a way of sending out multiple messages like you describe
below.

This is true, Andy, but you are then actually sending a copy of the message
_from_ the client for _every_ person, and it appears that this would be the
case with the proposed "Envelope".  Seems like a waste of bandwidth when you
have a server routing all the messages.  The server could make the copies on
the way out and this would keep with the "simple client" idea.

Seems like this could be a not too difficult server feature added, although
there is the spamming concern... not going to go too deep here.. is there
plans for this in the server or specific reasons why not?
