|
|
1. The **Message to stream** section describes which stream the message was sent
|
|
to.
|
|
|
|
In this example, the message was sent to the **Denmark** stream.
|
|
|
|
2. The **Sent by** section displays the username and email address of the
|
|
message sender.
|
|
|
|
In this example, **King Hamlet** sent the message. His email address is
|
|
**hamlet@zulip.com**.
|
|
|
|
3. This **Timestamp** section shows the exact date and time at which the message
|
|
was sent.
|
|
|
|
In this example, the message was sent at **December 20, 2016** at
|
|
**8:23:20 A.M. PST (UTC -8)**.
|
|
|
|
4. Clicking the **Send a private message** link allows you to directly send a
|
|
private message to the message sender.
|
|
|
|
In this example, clicking on the link transforms your messaging box to send
|
|
a private message to **King Hamlet**.
|
|
|
|
5. Clicking the **Narrow to private message** link narrows your view to display
|
|
all private messages exchanged between the message sender and you by using the
|
|
search operator `pm-with`.
|
|
|
|
In this example, clicking on the link transforms your view to show all
|
|
private messages exchanged between **King Hamlet** and you by using the
|
|
search operator `pm-with:hamlet@zulip.com`.
|
|
|
|
6. Clicking the **Narrow to messages sent by** link narrows your view to display
|
|
all messages the message sender sent to streams that you're subscribed to and
|
|
private group chats you're both in using the search operator by `sender`.
|
|
|
|
In this example, clicking on the link transforms your view to show all
|
|
messages sent by **King Hamlet** sent to public streams you're subscribed to
|
|
as well as private group chats you're both in by using the search operator
|
|
`sender:hamlet@zulip.com`.
