tell

The Tell module is an interstellar answering machine that allows users to leave messages for other users who may not be online at the moment. When the recipient joins a channel or sends a message, they will receive all pending messages that were left for them.

• Delete your own messages with rmtell <message-id>
• List your pending messages with list-tells
• Automatic delivery of pending messages when users are active
• Persistent storage using SQLite database
• Rate limiting to prevent abuse
• Multi-platform support
