The base of the messaging system in Stalker

Messages are one of the ways to collaborate in Stalker. The model of the messages is taken from the e-mail system. So it is pretty similiar to an e-mail message.

Parameters:
  • from – the User object sending the message
  • to – the list of Users to receive this message
  • subject – the subject of the message
  • body – the body of the message
  • in_reply_to – the Message object which this message is a reply to.
  • replies – the list of Message objects which are the direct replies of this message
  • attachments – a list of SimpleEntity objects attached to this message (so anything can be attached to a message)
