           Summary: high-level API for text channels
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: git master
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: tp-glib
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: ken.vandine at canonical.com
         QAContact: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org


There should be a way to determine if a message has been "seen" in an existing
chat.  Currently in empathy, when the chat updates, it sends a notification if
the window/tab isn't focused.  

I would like my TpSimpleApprover to be able to watch channels already handled
and determine if the message has been seen, without modifying empathy.  

My use case is for telepathy-indicator, Ubuntu messaging menu integration.  We
need to:
 * add indicators for new messages, and approve channels when activated: DONE
 * clear the indicator if the chat is focused without activating the indicator:
MISSING
 * add indicators for new messages in an existing chat that isn't focused:
MISSING

Basically everything empathy needs to determine if it should send a
notification to the user or not.
