#6604: auto response causes msn error pop-ups

 Users of the bot-sentry plugin have reported this issue here:

 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2002718&group_id=156021&atid=798112

 Essentially, when auto-responding, this causes a new window to open to
 report a switchboard error trying to send the message to the msn user.

 Bot sentry listens for the receiving-im-msg signal in order to possibly
 block the new message.  However it checks to see if there is already an
 open conversation, and if there is, the new message will NOT be blocked.
 Unfortunately, the MSN error process directly opens a new conversation,
 effectively bypassing any chance of bot-sentry interception.

 Possible fixes are:

 1.  The patch attached to the bot-sentry bug.

 2.  Notice that bot-sentry sent the message using the
 PURPLE_MESSAGE_AUTO_RESP flag and don't bother to report the switchboard
 error.
