But that's just the theory :-) In practice, it appears to work fine. I made this patch http://www.davidfaure.fr/2016/bitlbee_add_dot.diff and finally, after all these years, I can ping my fellow Jabber groupchat users by their real JID (""firstname.lastname"") rather than pinging them with ""firstnamelastname"" which often doesn't trigger a notification for them. Jabber is already complex enough with some clients showing the JID, others (like PSI I think) showing the nickname and others (like Adium) showing the full name.... we don't need bitlbee to be a 4th kind of jabber client, showing the JID without the dot :) Tested with konversation as the IRC client, and several people in group chats having a '.' in their JID. I'm not sure if this works for users who themselves have a '.' in their JID. If you hate the idea of this patch, I understand. I just thought I'd share it, since it works for me." defect new normal IRC Unspecified Konversation 1.5 Linux OpenSuSE 13.2
