Send button is pressed, any pending text is submitted along with the
selected file. Image files sent this way will, by default, appear
inline in messages, but each user may toggle that via the settings
popup menu, such that images instead appear as downloadable links.
Non-image files always appear in messages as download links.
### Deletion of Messages
Any user may *locally* delete a given message by clicking on the "tab"
at the top of the message and clicking the button which appears. Such
deletions are local-only, and the messages will reappear if the page
is reloaded. The user who posted a given message, or any Admin users,
may additionally choose to globally delete a message from the chat
record, which deletes it not only from their own browser but also

### Deletion of Messages
<div class="sidebar">Message deletion is itself a type of message, which
is why deletions count towards updates in the recent activity list. (It
is counted for the person who performed the deletion, not the author of
the deleted comment.) That can potentially lead to odd corner cases
where a user shows up in the list but has no messages which are
currently visible because they were deleted, or an admin user who has
not posted anything but deleted a message. That is a known minor
cosmetic-only bug with a resolution of "will not fix."</div>

show up in that list, nor does the chat infrastructure have a way to
track and present those. That list can be used to filter messages on a
specific user by tapping on that user's name, tapping a second time to
remove the filter.
