Comment (by deryni):

 The problem with such tagging (and the reason pidgin doesn't send auto-
 away messages on protocols that don't support it natively) is that they
 become translation annoyances and that even given a proper translation
 they confuse people who don't expect their protocol to be doing that.
 Which, I might point out, is exactly the problem you are trying to solve
 in the offline message emulation plugin. And yes, adding the message
 itself is not hard, it is the rest of the stuff that is frought with
 problems (namely the above problem).
