<section1 topic='Messages Eligible for Carbons Delivery' anchor='which-messages'>
<p>The focus of this specification is instant messaging applications and so those (and only those) &MESSAGE; stanzas used for instant messaging SHOULD be delivered as Carbons.</p>
<p>Defining precisely which messages are used for instant messaging and which are not is difficult, as future specifications may add additional payloads used for, or not used for, instant messaging; as such, the rules for which messages are eligible for carbons delivery is left as an implementation detail for servers.</p>
<p>The following is a suggested set of rules a server MAY use, or it MAY use its own; in either case it SHOULD follow the general intent of these rules. A &MESSAGE; is eligible for carbons delivery if and only if at least one the following is true:</p>
<p>The following is the set of rules that a server implementation SHOULD use to determine which messages should be carbon-copied. Future specifications MAY add or override rules, though they are generally advised to <link url='#avoiding'>use the &lt;private/&gt; element</link>.</p>
<p>A &MESSAGE; is eligible for carbons delivery if it does not contain a &lt;private/&gt; child element and if at least one the following is true:</p>
<ul>
<li>it is of type "chat".</li>
<li>it is of type "normal" and contains a &lt;body&gt; element.</li>
<li>it is of type "error" and it was sent in response to a &MESSAGE; that was eligible for carbons delivery (Note that as this would require message tracking and correlation on the server, it is unlikely to be generally appropriate for most implementations).</li>
<li>it matches the MUC-related rules outlined below.</li>
</ul>
<p>To properly handle messages exchanged with a MUC (or similar service), the server must be able to identify MUC-related messages. This can be accomplished by tracking the clients' presence in MUCs, or by checking for the <tt>&lt;x xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user"&gt;</tt> element in messages. The following rules are suggested for MUC-related messages:
