How can I get the message ID of a message I send? about chatexchange

[thomas-daniels]

@badp There is now an alternative way to do this: you can set the on_message_sent method on a Client object, which will get called when a message is sent through ChatExchange. The on_message_sent method needs two parameters, the first for the message ID and the second for the room ID.

Any watchers will get notified of the message (with the ID), of course, and you can just use edit()

I don't see any other way to record it, since sending messages is async I can't just return the ID.

Suggestions welcome.
