 With the addition of AIM offline messaging capabilites in Pidgin's latest
 release, I believe it is now impossible to determine whether the contact
 being messaged is invisible or actually logged off.  Since the messages
 are stored and sent when the buddy logs back on, the UI provides no
 feedback that the user is currently logged off.

 Previously, when messaging offline AIM contacts, an error occurred and was
 reported to the user that the contact being messaged was currently logged
 off.
 Now, Pidgin treats a conversation between an offline contact and a simply
 invisible one the same -- leaving the user with no idea whether their
 message is being received immediately or at some later date (when the user
 logs back on).
