[jdev] Echo outgoing chat messages back to myself

Thu Jan 5 17:44:23 UTC 2012

Ok, let me be more verbose:

user1/resource1 sends the message:
<message to='user2' type='chat'><body>blah</body></body></message>

user1/resource2 gets the notification:
<message to='user2' type='chat'><body>blah</body></body></message>
You do not need to look for differences b/w these two - they are
identical. Or, to be a bit more proactive, you can actually add a
'from' field - i.e. send message to second resource not 'as it was
received [from user1]' but 'as it was sent [to user2]'.

You are stumbled upon the false idea that recipient MUST see his
address in the 'to' field. He needs that not, check how email (Cc:)
works.

On the other hand, if there is already XEP for this exact purpose, you
probably much better off following it - it will provide compartibility
with future clients, you will be among first adopters and your
client/server will be used as a reference implementation.
