Yes. > If that syncing works for chat messages, it should work for "read receipt" > messages as well, no? Except that they’re not chat messages, so won’t be stored, and if they were you’d be potentially up to doubling the size of your archive (I guess adding a quarter to, on average) as you fill it with read markers - unless you want to customise the MAM service to understand unread state, in which case what have you gained? > The problem could also be exanded to other use cases like "syncing message > corrections" between clients (XEP-0308), which would work the same: each > client retrieves messages from MAM and applies them in order.

If you log on, your client does a complete synchronisation of all history from the (modified to include non-chat history for read markers) archive to local storage, and then processes the stanzas it will be able to see which contacts have unread messages and how many, yes. Having to do a full history download is clearly not tenable in the general case. What I’m proposing is something like <iq from=client to=account> <unread-please/> </iq> <iq from=account to=client> <unreads> <unread jid=romeo… id=oeub… count=3/> <unread jid=juliet… id=acdb… count=1/> </unreads> </iq> We don’t have a sensible way of providing that with any of our current protocols (or, at least, none that spring to my mind). /K _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: [email protected] _______________________________________________
