Treatment of groupchat message with both subject and body elements

Please first check if another issue has been opened for your problem

Versions

  • OS: Debian Linux
  • Gajim version: 1.1.91+d129f555
  • GTK version: 3.22.11
  • Python-nbxmpp version: 0.9.90

Steps to reproduce the problem

  1. Receive from a MUC
<message type="groupchat">
  <subject>Did you know</subject>
  <body>Normal groupchat messages can have a subject line</body>
</message>

Expected behavior

The message is treated as a groupchat message and the <body> content is shown. If individual messages can be rendered with a subject, then do that maybe?

Actual behavior

The topic is changed. The <body> content is not shown.

Specification

XEP-0045 says

The subject is changed by sending a message of type "groupchat" to the <room@service>, where the <message/> MUST contain a <subject/> element that specifies the new subject but MUST NOT contain a <body/> element (or a <thread/> element). In accordance with the core definition of XMPP, other child elements are allowed (although the entity that receives them might ignore them).

Note: A message with a <subject/> and a <body/> or a <subject/> and a <thread/> is a legitimate message, but it SHALL NOT be interpreted as a subject change.
