Treating all XMPP messages as chats

RFC 3921 section 2.1.1 describes the type of messages that exist in standard XMPP (Jabber) conversations. The default type is a normal message, which is supposed to be processed similar to a standard RFC 822 electronic mail message.

It is wrong to treat this like a chat message, and impolite to simply lop off the message subject which appears to be the standard behaviour in libPurple based XMPP clients.
