Actually, only reading is implemented, please fill another issue for write support."


Star this, and get other devs attention!

This is the feature that I miss the most from Pidgin's MSN protocol; being able to 
send messages to users that are offline or invisibile.

Can you post the compiled binary of the OIM branch here since some of us are just
users instead of developers? = )

This is open source, so users are encouraged to compile the source code.
Alternatively you can wait for the next release.

This feature is in Pidgin "default" MSN protocol, why the wonderful WLM Pecan plugin
is missing this feature? :)
Hope in 0.18 release will be added! :)

thePanz: because msn-pecan forked from the "official" protocol before msnp15, since
it's when I'm confident the code had decent quality.

Now the implementation of the "official" protocol is quite buggy, and proof of that
are the crashes while parsing offline messages.

The oim implementation of msn-pecan is better organized, so more code is reused,
which help decrease the issues.

I ack this issue, maybe it won't be implemented in 0.0.18, but it will be in 0.1.0.

Hi Felipe, thank you for your reply!
Maybe, untill offline messages will be send/receive, you could add some "warnings"
about that on IM message windows like "WLM plugin can't send offline messages".

Ps: I found some kind of bug in "offline read-only" messaging: I logon in MSN account
using WLM in latest 2 days, today I turned off WLM and connected again using default
pidgin MSN account: I received some offline messages dated one day ago.. is something
wrong?

If you try to send a message when the user is offline you should receive an error. If
that's not happening please open an issue ticket.

Maybe there's an issue on Pidgin's MSN protocol while parsing offline messages?

Ok, I'll open a ticket for that!

Do you mean that Pidgin MSN protocol is blocking WLM offline messages? I received
them only when I re-activate MSN protocol, and them were sent while I was connected
using WLM plugin. I'll try to do more tests.. :)

When this gets done could there be an option to turn off sending offline messages? 
It's quite nice as you can see if a user is appearing offline but isn't there without
leaving a backlog of offline messages.

Fixed in git, please verify.

Looks like it doesn't work for me, I got this message when I tried to send an offline
message to an offline contact (invisible to offlien): "The following message wasn't
sent because you've sent messages too quickly."
It was the first and only message I sent

Are you sure? It works for me... can you post a debug log?

How do I do that?

This is the log since I sent the message to when I got the error. I hope there's
nothing personal in there so I put it to pastebin

Can you please connect to IRC? Some tests are needed... (chan: #msn-pecan , server:
irc.freenode.net)

Ok, fixed an issue, please, update, test and report.
