Comment (by seanegan):

 This is useful. If I'm logged in at home, and then log in at work. And my
 Pidgin crashes at work, the other person will currently start sending
 messages to my home account, completely oblivious to that fact. A message
 like "so-and-so has signed off. messages will now go to so-and-so2" would
 help.

 You could, even, then if the user signs back on within a minute, perhaps,
 say "so-and-so is back online. Would you like to send messages to him?" It
 would be important to make such messages as unintrusive as possible.

 -s.
