plugin XEP-0045: don't fail on `item-not-found` with MAM: Some servers don't store permanently the whole history of MUC with MAM. As a result, an "item-not-found" stanza error can be received when message id used as reference doesn't exist anymore on the server. When this case happens, the history is retrieved in the same way as for a newly joined room (i.e. last 50 messages are requested).

=============================
identity: identity management
=============================

Identity use several XMPP extensions (like vcards) to retrieve or set informations about
an entity. For now it's really basic and only nickname and avatar are managed.

get
===

Retrieve informations about the identity behind an XMPP entity. You only have to specify
the jid of the entity, and you'll get (if set) his/her/its nickname and a link to the
cached avatar.

example
--------

Get identity information about an entity::

  $ jp identity get somebody@example.org

set
===

Set identity data to the server, using various XMPP extensions. You set the data to change
using ``-f KEY VALUE, --field KEY VALUE``, where ``KEY`` can only be ``nick`` at the
moment.

example
-------

Set the nickname of default profile::

  $ jp identity set -f nick toto
