Fixing spelling mistakes and typos in XMPP messages #emacs #xmpp
One of the only things I like in Microsoft Teams¹ is that I can edit messages I have sent.
I often send something without noticing all the typos and spelling mistakes I have made. I have tried to be more careful, but for some reason my eyes and brain prefer to see the errors after sending.
Klaus asked if I can use XEP-308 Last Message Correction as e.g. Conversations and Gajim do, and the answer was simple: jabber.el doesn't support it.
I asked about support for XEP-304 on the jabber.el mailing list.

And then I wrote a little jabber-last-message-correction.el, which implements rudimentary support for editing the last message sent, and also shows when an incoming message is an edit of a previous one.
It feels like I am the only one using jabber.el. But after I asked if I was, two people have said they use jabber.el too, so that's good!

To avoid spam many websites make you fill out a CAPTCHA, or log in via an account at a corporation such as Twitter, Facebook, Google or even Microsoft GitHub.
I have chosen to use a more old school method of spam prevention.
