Private messages

/msg across the network, offline delivery, replies, conversations, quick replies, the recent lines window and who may message whom.

Module: private-messages. Off, /msg, /reply, /conversation, /quickreply and /recent are gone.

Sending

/msg <player> <message> reaches a player on any server of the network. The sender reads [me -> Name] message, the receiver [Name -> me] message.

Case	What happens
The receiver is offline	The message waits and is delivered at their join, marked `[while away]`; up to `offline-queue` (20) wait, the oldest goes first
The receiver turned private messages off	Refused, unless the sender has `uxmchat.bypass.pm-toggle`
The receiver turned off messages from strangers	Only their friends get through
The receiver ignores the sender	Refused
The receiver is vanished	Treated as offline, unless the sender has `uxmchat.see-vanished`
Too soon after the last	Refused for `cooldown-millis` (1000), unless the sender has `uxmchat.bypass.pm-cooldown`
Too long	Over `max-length` (256) characters is refused

A message passes the same filters as chat. Staff with uxmchat.spy.pm and spy turned on in their settings read a copy of every message.

Replying

/reply <message> (alias /r) answers whoever last messaged you, or whoever you last messaged.

Conversations

/conversation <player> (alias /convo) sends every line you type to that player until you run /conversation again with no name. Node uxmchat.msg.conversation.

Quick replies

A player saves up to quick-replies.cap (9) lines with /quickreply add <message> and sends one with /quickreply <slot> as a reply. /quickreply list shows them by slot.

The recent lines window

/recent opens the last five lines said to you. A left click asks for a line and sends it in private to whoever said the clicked one; a right click ignores them. A Bedrock player gets it as a form. See Recent.
