<section2topic='Sending a Private Message'anchor='privatemessage'>
<p>Since each occupant has its own occupant JID, an occupant can send a "private message" to a selected occupant via the service by sending a message to the intended recipient's occupant JID. The message type SHOULD be "chat" and MUST NOT be "groupchat", but MAY be left unspecified (i.e., a normal message). This privilege is controlled by the "muc#roomconfig_allowpm" room configuration option.</p>
<p>To allow for proper synchronization of these messages to the user's other clients by &xep0280;, the sending client SHOULD add an <x/> element qualified by the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user' namespace to the message.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> because this requirement was only added in revision 1.28 of this XEP, receiving entities MUST NOT rely on the existence of the <x/> element on private messages for proper processing.</p>
<p>The service is responsible for changing the 'from' address to the sender's occupant JID and delivering the message to the intended recipient's full JID.</p>

<p>If the sender attempts to send a private message of type "groupchat" to a particular occupant, the service MUST refuse to deliver the message (since the recipient's client would expect in-room messages to be of type "groupchat") and return a &badrequest; error to the sender:</p>
