mod_report_forward: Fix traceback on error message passed to datetime function If archive:get() returns an error, e.g. because it can't find a message with the given ID, it may return e.g. nil, "item-not-found" or similar where the error condition ends up in reported_message_time, which gets passed to util.datetime, which thus ends up doing math to a string or error object.

Introduction
============

This module largely duplicates the functionality of the standard
mod\_announce that is included with Prosody. It was developed for
compatibility with some clients (e.g. iChat) that do not support ad-hoc
commands or sending to JIDs with the format
'example.com/announce/online'.

It may also be useful in other specific cases.

Configuration
=============

    Component "broadcast@example.com" "broadcast"

By default, only server admins are allowed to post to this address. You
can override this, by specifying the 'broadcast\_senders' option:

    Component "broadcast@example.com" "broadcast"
        broadcast_senders = { "user1@example.com", "user2@example.com" }

Compatibility
=============

  ------ -------
  0.9    Works
  0.10   Works
  trunk  Doesn't work (uses is_admin)
  ------ -------
