This will be invoked whenever another user sends a message to a group this user is participating in, or whenever another user sends a message directly to this user. In the former case, recipient will be the group to which the message was sent; in the latter, it will be the same object as the user who is receiving the message.

Parameters

recipient:IUser or IGroupUndocumented
message:dictUndocumented
Returns
twisted.internet.defer.DeferredA Deferred which fires when the message has been delivered, or which fails in some way. If the Deferred fails and the message was directed at a group, this user will be removed from that group.
def userJoined(group, user): (source)
