Hello all!
I'm curious how difficult it would be to change / implement a so-called "faux offline messaging" into tabsrmm.
Currently, tabsrmm has an option to send later / retry / keep trying etc. This is _almost_ good enough, but not quite.. since the time between attempts increases exponentially, and in the end, the plugin sort of gives up until you restart miranda (which is documented; I'm not saying this is a bad behavior).
What I'm looking for is the ability to handle offline messages like Skype used to:
Core features:
- Keep trying to deliver the message until it is received or cancelled by the sender or a long period of time passes.
- Only start trying when the target (contact) comes/is online (protocols that support offline messages don't _really_ need this feature)
Quality of life features:
- Automatically switch into "faux offline messaging" when talking to an offline contact of a protocol that does not support offline messaging.
- Possibly handle the message with its original timestamp, ie. so that it appears in the history at the time when it was sent
The advantage of this would be the protocol-independent nature of these messages, i.e. no support in protocol required for this to work. Kind of like FileAsMessage does file transfers over any protocol as well.
Thoughts?
