Description Paul Sladen 2010-11-27 02:56:01 UTC 
Forwarded: https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/647002

When a user goes offline in Empathy, Empathy then states "error when sending message $user: offline".

This error message does not distinguish between the many causes of a user going offline. Ideally Empathy would say whether it is me, my buddy, or the transport layer (eg. the server in between me and my friend) that has gone offline causing the message(s) not to be delivered.

For example, it stating "Viktor has gone offline" would be more useful if the other user has gone offline (Viktor being the name of the person I /was/ chatted with).
