#743: Switch accounts on-the-fly

 If I have a buddy with two accounts grouped into one contact (let's say,
 one ICQ and one MSN account), and I open a conversation with him, this
 works wonderfully. Now let's say the conversation was opened via ICQ, so
 I'm talking to my contact via his ICQ account. If now my contact goes
 offline with his ICQ account, but stays online with the MSN account, the
 conversation tab switches to "offline"-state, and further messages are
 still sent to the (offline) ICQ-account.

 I would consider it better if now pidgin would print some message like
 "Switching protocols", switch to one of the online accounts, and lets me
 continue the conversation.

 I'm not really shure wether this is intended or not, so I don't know
 wether to file this as a defect or enhancement...
