Thanks for the reply Philipp. In that case I didn't understand the purpose
of the new ways of fetching the archive as proposed by Matthew in
https://github.com/xsf/xeps/pull/922 namly "before-id", "after-id", and
"ids". I assumed that they operate not on the archive id provided by MAM
but on the origin-id (or other id) provided by the user.

If they operate on the archive id provided by MAM, I think we are still
missing a simple way for the sender to sync the archive. The user sending
the message, doesn't know the archive id of the just sent message unless it
tries to read it from MAM. I can imagine a situation where a user sent many
messages to someone else, there was no message back from the other user
when the sender was online. The next time our sender connects and wants to
sync MAM it has to either query it by timestamp or use last known archive
id, which is from before the messages were sent.

In other words, I think it'd be good if the sender could quickly learn what
is the archive id for the message it just sent, or has the ability to query
the archive based on origin-id.
