@messyroom:matrix.org isn't a normal from address...
"from" is a free text field...
True, I just thought someone would find it interesting. I guess not.
Well, it is weird and my alias so I'm not sure which message it was in or
why either.
So that address is a correct format address for matrix (chat) - so it probably does look odd/different to what is normally used in BBSing.
I must have skimmed by it, as I don't see the message itself. But I use that
alias on matrix, and bbses. Not sure how it got into a from in a test
message on a bbs echo....
The origin line of the message will tell you what matrix "room" the message was
posted in. (It was the TQW_TEST room). Messages posted there will appear in the
echo for BBSes, and any messages posted in the BBS echo will appear in matrix.
There are a couple of glitches to work through, and I may surround each message
appearing in matrix with triple backtick (quote), so that any formating is preserved. I may even look at getting ansilove going, so that any messages with
ANSI get posted as an image (since matrix doesnt really have CP437 graphics, and a monospaced font that I can find.)
