 > User A has accounts with MSN, ICQ and Jabber. His buddies are Joe (only
 MSN), Ted (only ICQ) and Ira (only Jabber).
 > He can send offline message to Ted and Ira, but not to Joe. How does he
 know?

 I have addressed this specific case '''numerous''' times during this
 thread.  Pidgin should be able to handle offline messages gracefully on a
 ''contact'' level, as well as buddy level, and this would solve this
 example.  I really wish offline messages would quit coming up, because
 they're just about the easiest thing to fix in this respect that could
 possibly be introduced.  It also indicates that the proponents of adding
 protocol icons aren't actually ''reading'' the other side of the
 conversation ... which is discouraging.
