Ulrich - Have you found that people actually want this functionality?? I had threads properly implemented in Winjab a _LONG_ time ago, and every single user complained about it. "Why does a new window open up???". This was mostly because other clients were not echo'ing my thread tag back. Thus, you end up having a "bucket" chat window which receives all messages which have a blank thread. Most of this could be avoided if the <thread> tag was mandatory for message type="chat" packets. I've long since gotten away from the idea of trying to implement threads "properly" because of these reasons (other clients).... Mostly, I just echo the last thread, and generate one when a new conversation starts. On a related note, many clients don't handle chatting w/ multiple resources very well either. Again, this is an "edge case" IMO, but once that can be important in certain vertical market applications. pgm. _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
