Luis, I don't think an "jabber:x:oob" ns is mandatory for "headline" message.
I met the same problem as you did, some clients can't display "headline" message generated by my component. Actually the reason is simple: some clients just ignore the <message/> if <body/> is empty. I filled <body/> with several blank spaces, then everything is OK. -Yanming ----- Original Message ----- From: "Luis Peralta" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 2:29 PM Subject: [JDEV] Meaning of "headline" messages > Hi, > > What's the correct usage for "headline" type messages? > > Let me explain: I've written a component that notifies the user when > some type of event has happened.
