jabber:x:event

Message events allow clients and servers alike to add information about the receipt and handling of messages at various stages of delivery. There are currently four types of events supported in this namespace:

Composing

The composing event, represented by the <composing/> tag within the <x/> extension qualified by the jabber:x:event namespace, can be set by clients and signifies that the user is composing a reply to the message just sent.

Delivered

When a message is received by a client, it can set the <delivered/> flag to signify that the message has been received.

Displayed

The displayed event is used to indicate that the message sent has been displayed to the user. This event is set, using the <displayed/> tag, by clients.

Offline

When a message recipient is not connected, the JSM module mod_offline will store the message and send it to the recipient when she is next available. This offline storage event can be set by the server, using the <offline/> tag, to notify the sender that the message has been stored offline.

The <composing/>, <delivered/>, and <displayed/> events are client events and are appropriate to be set only by the client. The <offline/> event is a server event and appropriate to be set only by the server. In all cases, the events are set only if the message originator requests that they are.
