The xmpp-query function (or just +incoming messages) will create query buffers for one-to-one chats, +xmpp-muc-join creates MUC ones. + +The used XML interface will probably be adjusted, and there's still a +lot to add or improve in xmpp.el, but it is fairly usable (i.e., +replaces bitlbee + rcirc for me) since September 2021. + +Possibly in the future it will work with other libraries as well, +and/or will be moved out of the rexmpp's repository. |
