[Opensim-dev] Question on What is meant to happen with Offline IMs between Hypergrid Connected Grids

[Ai Austin]

Instant messaging, profiles, and ss on all work pretty well between 
up top date grids now over the hypergrid..

The OSGrid profile mechanism is not compatible and al;ways reports 
"unable to fetch profile data at this time" but otherwise profiles 
seem to work pretty smoothly.

Assuming the default built in mechanism "Offline IM V2" and that its 
enable,  I am not sure IM and Offline IM quite works as you might 
expect... to pi this down can we establish what its MEANT to do.

If a HG visitor sends an IM on a grid it is delivered instantly if 
the recipient is online, or stored for later successful delivery if 
the recipnet is offline.

If one grid sends an IM to the user on the other grid, e.g. replying 
to an earliest sent IM, or initiating an IM from a friends list, ifb 
the other user is online on the other grid when its send its delivered.

BUT... if a sender on one grid tries to send an IM to a foreign grid 
recipient is not online and on their home grid at the time a message 
is sent, its NOT stored for later delivery.  Instead the sender gets 
the message

      (busy response): Unable to send instant message. User is not logged in.

Would we expect that to work and its a bug if it does not.... or 
should it be made to work one day by using the offline IM mechanism 
in the sender or receiver grids to pas it over to await the recipient 
coming online?
