## Description

This mixin can be added to a channel GObject class to implement the text channel type (with the Messages interface) in a general way. The channel class should also have a TpDBusPropertiesMixinClass.

To use the messages mixin, include a TpMessageMixin somewhere in your instance structure, and call `tp_message_mixin_init()` from your constructor function, and `tp_message_mixin_finalize()` from your dispose or finalize function. In the class_init function, call `tp_message_mixin_init_dbus_properties()` to hook this mixin into the D-Bus properties mixin class. Finally, include the following in the fourth argument of `G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE()`:

    1
    2
    3
    4

    G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE (TP_TYPE_SVC_CHANNEL_TYPE_TEXT,
      tp_message_mixin_text_iface_init);
    G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE (TP_TYPE_SVC_CHANNEL_INTERFACE_MESSAGES,
      tp_message_mixin_messages_iface_init);

To support sending messages, you must call `tp_message_mixin_implement_sending()` in the constructor function. If you do not, any attempt to send a message will fail with NotImplemented.

## Details

### TpMessage

    typedef struct _TpMessage TpMessage;

Opaque structure representing a message in the Telepathy messages interface (an array of at least one mapping from string to variant, where the first mapping contains message headers and subsequent mappings contain the message body).

### tp_message_append_part ()

    guint               tp_message_append_part              (TpMessage *self);

Append a body part to the message.

`self` : | a message
Returns : | the part number `since` 0.7.21

### tp_message_count_parts ()

    guint               tp_message_count_parts              (TpMessage *self);

`self` : | a message
Returns : | the number of parts in the message, including the headers in part 0 `since` 0.7.21

### tp_message_delete_key ()

    gboolean            tp_message_delete_key               (TpMessage *self,
                                                             guint part,
                                                             const gchar *key);

Remove the given key and its value from the given part.

`self` : | a message
`part` : | a part number, which must be strictly less than the number returned by `tp_message_count_parts()`
`key` : | a key in the mapping representing the part
Returns : | `TRUE` if the key previously existed `since` 0.7.21

### tp_message_delete_part ()

    void                tp_message_delete_part              (TpMessage *self,
                                                             guint part);

Delete the given body part from the message.

`since` 0.7.21

`self` : | a message
`part` : | a part number, which must be strictly greater than 0, and strictly less than the number returned by `tp_message_count_parts()`

### tp_message_destroy ()

    void                tp_message_destroy                  (TpMessage *self);

Destroy `self`.

`since` 0.7.21

`self` : | a message

### tp_message_new ()

    TpMessage *         tp_message_new                      (TpBaseConnection *connection,
                                                             guint initial_parts,
                                                             guint size_hint);

`connection` : | a connection on which to reference handles
`initial_parts` : | number of parts to create (at least 1)
`size_hint` : | preallocate space for this many parts (at least `initial_parts`)
Returns : | a newly allocated message suitable to be passed to tp_message_mixin_take_received `since` 0.7.21

### tp_message_peek ()

    const GHashTable *  tp_message_peek                     (TpMessage *self,
                                                             guint part);

`self` : | a message
`part` : | a part number
Returns : | the GHashTable used to implement the given part, or `NULL` if the part number is out of range. The hash table is only valid as long as the message is valid and the part is not deleted. `since` 0.7.21

### tp_message_ref_handle ()

    void                tp_message_ref_handle               (TpMessage *self,
                                                             TpHandleType handle_type,
