[gentoo-user] Kopete and offline messages

Hi,

I upgraded to KDE 4.5.2 and noticed something weird about Kopete.  
First, these are the flags and such:

[ebuild   R   ] kde-base/kopete-4.5.2  USE="addbookmarks autoreplace 
contactnotes groupwise handbook highlight history nowlistening pipes 
privacy ssl statistics texteffect translator urlpicpreview yahoo 
zeroconf (-aqua) -debug -gadu -jabber -jingle (-kdeenablefinal) 
(-kdeprefix) -latex -meanwhile -msn -oscar -otr -qq -skype -sms -testbed 
-v4l2 -webpresence -winpopup"

It used to let me send a message to someone even if the person was off 
line.  Now, I get this little tidbit of info when I click on a user that 
is off line:

"This user is not reachable at the moment. Please make sure you are 
connected and using a protocol that supports offline sending, or wait 
until this user comes online."


This works fine if a user is online.  It opens a window for me to start 
talking in for them but I have some friends that logon invisible so this 
error is not going over to well.  What is the deal here?  I don't see a 
USE flag that affects this and it was working before the upgrade.  I 
also don't see anything odd in the settings but maybe I am missing 
something.

Is this Yahoo, Kopete or what?  Thanks.

Dale

works perfectly here with invisible users on yahoo. maybe try pidgin or 
something to rule out a fault with kopete.

I installed pidgin and it works so it must be a Kopete thing.  Just 
wonder what that is.  I re-emerged Kopete just to see if that would help 
and it didn't.  I prefer Kopete because that is where all my past chats 
are saved.

Anybody know what could cause this?  Could it be something Kopete built 
on that pidgin doesn't use?

Thanks.

I figured it out.  At some point during the upgrade some of the contact 
info got deleted.  Most importantly the contact name.  It can't send a 
message without the IM name.  lol

Now to figure out how to get that back.  o_O

Some IM servers just don't support delivering off-line messages.

Not Kopete's fault if it tells you it can't deliver a message coz the server 
won't accept it.

What service are you sending to?
