Bug Description
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).

In my case, I received the "Error sending message: offline" message while I was online and my chat partner suddenly went offline. This is a bit strange because Empathy should be able to deliver the message to the server at least.
Anyway, even if I am off-line, Empathy should remember the message and it should try to deliver it when a connection to the server is established. It should not require the user to manually try to re-deliver the message. Thanks!
