Bug : offline message

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
A is connected, but appears offline
B send an offline message to A
A appear online
B can't send messages to A any more

I finally understood where the problem came from.
A appears offline, so B uses OIMService.SendOIMMessage to send the message.
when A connects, he sends a direct message, but a conversation is alerady 
open, it seems that this conversation can't be used to send messages.

I made a hack in my code : every time I send an offline message, I check 
if the conversation is opened and I close it :

messenger.OIMService.SendOIMMessage(contact, messageText);
if (conversations.ContainsKey(contact) && conversations
[contact].Switchboard.IsSessionEstablished)
conversations[contact].Switchboard.Close();

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Release 2.5.3 on Windows Vista

Please provide any additional information below.

first of all, I thought we could send offline messages with the 
Switchboard.SendTextMessage method.
Then I saw that I had to use OIMService.SendOIMMessage
It's strange : do we have to send an offline message when the contact is 
online but hidden ? I thought it would be the live messenger server's job 
to switch between direct messages and offline messages. But if the 
protocol is like that, it's ok :)

The server won't switch the OIMs.
Thanks for your reporting.
