Sometimes I leave a group, but for some reason some people didn’t received the message, (or for example if I leave a group but then delete de message before it is sent) in such situations it would be useful to be able to re-leave the group(or at least send the message to the people that keep seeing me in the group)
What I wonder is… how come that a user can “Leave group”, you see the notification “You left the group” and yet you keep
a) seeing the group (shouldn’t it be automatically deleted?)
b) seeing new messages being posted there
It just happened to me today. Or maybe it’s a bug in the desktop version? (Ubuntu deb 1.50.1 (git: v1.33.0-1248-gc04da97a))
It’s part of the prototype/spec, but not implemented and postponed because it was not clear how bad the problem is: specs/group-membership at main · chatmail/specs · GitHub
It will require some UI, like in place of the composer show a message “seems you keep receiving messages, do you want to retry leaving?” and a button “yes” (exact wording should be improved).
