History
-------
Public channel messages are saved into the database, unless the
`record_history` option is set to false for that user
`Ad-hoc commands`). When a channel is joined, biboumi sends the
`max_history_length` messages found in the database, as the MUC history.
Public channel messages are saved into archives, inside the database, unless
the `record_history` option is set to false for that user `Ad-hoc commands`.
Private messages (messages that are sent directly to a nickname, not a
channel) are never stored in the database. When a channel is joined, biboumi
sends the `max_history_length` messages found in the database as the MUC
history.
A channel history can be retrieved by using `Message archive management (MAM)
<https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.htm>`_ on the channel JID. The results
can be filtered by start and end dates.
For a given channel, each user has her or his own archive. The content of
the archives are never shared, and thus a user can not use someone else’s
archive to get the messages that they didn’t receive when they were offline.
Although this feature would be very convenient, this would introduce a very
important privacy issue: for example if a biboumi gateway is used by two
users, by querying the archive one user would be able to know whether or not
the other user was in a room at a given time.
