[JDEV] Meaning of "headline" messages

Luis,

One more thing. 

You component should have valid JID, like 
myjid at mycomponent.myserver.com

If you are using "mycomponent.myserver.com"
as the JID in a "headline" message or any other 
messages, some client will ignore it as well. 

If you debug your code, you would find out that
"myjid" and "mycomponent.myserver.com" are in 
different members of a struct.
