<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
<p>Message types ('normal', 'chat', 'headline', etc.) provide an existing framework for determining how an entity should deliver or handle a message. For example &xmppim; defines that messages of type 'headline' should not be stored offline by the server, and that messages of type 'groupchat' must not be directed to other resources.</p>
<p>However this framework of rules is quite inflexible, and new extensions are being developed that push at the boundaries of what is capable of. This specification defines a more flexible approach that allows the sender to add finer-grained 'hints' to messages, which can be used as a generic mechanism for XMPP entities to handle messages.</p>
<p>A similar but much more extensive framework is defined in &xep0079; for applications that need it.</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Requirements' anchor='reqs'>
<p>This specification aims to solve the following common problems, and allow a sender to hint to
the recipient:</p>
<ul>
<li>Whether to store a message (e.g. for archival or as an 'offline message').</li>
<li>Whether to copy a message to other resources.</li>

<section2 topic="Session-based stanzas" anchor='usecases-session'>
<p>Suppose that Romeo and Juliet are avoiding the surveillance of Prince Escalus and communicating using a session-based
encryption protocol between their laptops. In order to prevent Juliet's tablet computer that uses &xep0280; from receiving
copies of the encrypted messages (and not being able to decrypt them), Romeo inserts the &lt;no-copy/&gt; hint into the
messages he sends. Since it is also useless for these messages to be archived, he additionally adds the &lt;no-store/&gt;
hint:</p>
<example caption='Sending a message with no-copy and no-store hints'><![CDATA[
<message
from='romeo@montague.lit/laptop'
to='juliet@capulet.lit/laptop'>
<body>V unir avtug'f pybnx gb uvqr zr sebz gurve fvtug</body>
<no-copy xmlns="urn:xmpp:hints"/>
<no-store xmlns="urn:xmpp:hints"/>
</message>
]]></example>
</section2>
<section2 topic="Notifications" anchor='usecases-notification'>
<p>Some automated notifications may be transient, and there would be no purpose in delaying their delivery. Such
messages may be marked with the &lt;no-store/&gt; hint.</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic="Sensitive messages" anchor='usercases-sensitive'>
<p>A sender may want to indicate their preference to have no permanent record of a message (also known as "off the
record" messages), but may be happy for it to be stored temporarily as a normal part of delivery (e.g. if the
recipient is offline at the time of sending). Such a message can be marked with the &lt;no-permanent-store/&gt; hint.

<section2 topic="Storage-worthy messages" anchor='store-worthy'>
<p>Offline storage and &xep0313; can define their own rules on what messages to store and usually only store messages that contain a body element. However a sender may want to indicate that a message is worth storeing even though it might not match those rules (e.g. an encrypted message that carries the payload outside the body element). Such a message can be marked with a &lt;store/&gt; hint.</p>

defined in &xmppim; for handling messages to bare JIDs, which may involve copying to multiple resources, or multiple
