Send single messages to contact belongs to a group

[beal@…]

I would like to be able to send a message to a group on the roster without being in a group chatroom.

this can be done via context menu on group row

also needs a refactored single message window UI which would support displaying many jids

[nk]

I think we support many JIDS sepereted with comma. If we don't it's

because we can't be really sure where the JID ends. I recall now that I talked with Peter about it and even comma was allowed in JID.

I have coded this, but i used a comma to separate the various recipient. i am trying to dig into rfc to find something more suitable, what about using space ?

patch to add a "send message to group" to the contact, when multiple contact are select

[misc]

I have refined the patch, now, it doesn't allows to edit the recipient list, as it would be too complex for me ( spaces are authorized in ressource, and ',' are in jid and everywhere ).

we should also have a menuitem in group popup menu:

send group message -> to all online users
                   -> to all users

[misc]

Ok, what about this new patch ? It add the menu you suggested.
