Skype group chats appearing as individual messages

[alspar@…]

I am experiencing a problem with skype groupchats within bitlbee. I notice that at certain times the messages from a group chat will appear as individual chat messages from each participant. My suspicion, is that this happens because when i restart bitlbee, the multi-user chat names stored by bitlbee are all forgotten. Then when a new message is received on the chat, it causes bitlbee to create a new conversation instead of recreating the group chat and reusing it as I would expect.

Perhaps this is the expected behaviour? If so is there a workaround I could use - for instance getting bitlbee to store the list of group chats when it exits? Alternatively, perhaps the skype plugin could query the list of group chats on startup and create them on demand?

What happens when you bookmark your Skype group chats?

just do account skype set auto_join true Taken straight from protocols/skype/README. I would like names other than chat_###, though.

Perfectly works!

With this commit all incoming messages result in joining a groupchat, which fixes this issue.
