Node:Recipients of comments, Next:Order of misc-info groups, Previous:Client-side name expansion, Up:Client Conventions
When a user writes a comment, the user should have full control over
which conferences and/or letterboxes the comment is sent to. By
default, the recipient list should be all recpt recipients.
cc-recpt and bcc-recpt recipients should not be
included.
Conferences in the recipient list that have the original
bit set, and a non-zero super-conf, should be replaced by the
super-conf.
If the author of the commented text isn't a member of any of the new
recipients, the client should check if the author has a
send-comments-to aux item. If it is 0, nothing should be
done. Otherwise, send-comments-to should be a valid conference
number, and that conference should be added as a recpt
recipient. If there is no send-comments-to aux-item, the user
should be prompted to add the author of the commented text as a
recpt or cc-recpt recipient.
If the author of the new comment is not a member of any of the
recipients, the client should check if the author has a
send-comments-to aux item. If it is 0 nothing should be
done. Otherwise, send-comments-to should be a valid conference
number, and the user should be prompted to add that conference as a
recpt or cc-recpt recipient. If there is no
send-comments-to, or send-comments-to is invalid, the user
should be prompted to add his letterbox as a recpt or
cc-recpt recipient.
If a recipient is present more than once, all duplicates should be removed.
