 If subject A blocks subject B, B sees A offline (and this is OK).

 But...[[BR]]
 1- If A is using Pidgin and B is using Pidgin, and B sends a message to A,
 the message is sent without errors
 This procedure works if user B selects NOT to make a buddy pounce when
 warned that the user is not online (and chooses to send the message
 anyway).[[BR]]
 2- If A is using Microsoft MSN and B is using Pidgin, and B sends a
 message to A, the message is NOT sent with the error: "User is not online"

 What I would expect is the 2nd behaviour and not the first! In that way
 one has the chance to know for sure if someone is really offline (sending
 error) or has just been blocked (no sending error).

 Thanks,[[BR]]
 Pietro
