#39 closed defect (fixed)

Confusing error messages when accidentally sending to a user on a class

Reported by: kchen@MIT.EDU Owned by: nelhage@mit.edu
Priority: minor Milestone:
Component: ui Keywords:

Description

If one accidentally sends to a user on a non-standard class, one gets the message:

Could not send message to class kchen-test: no one subscribed.

This is confusing, because users think nobody is actually subscribed. zwgc does a bit better:

kchen: Not logged in or not subscribing to class kchen-test, instance PERSONAL

This differs from its normal message:

No one subscribing to class asfasdfasdfasdfasdf, instance PERSONAL

barnowl should use different messages, and possibly explain to the user what the problem was.
