I am using windows' live messenger 8.0.812.00 right now, and I can confirm that this can be done using it.
My test:
- say to someone talk to me when appearing as offline.
- say him to close his conversation window
- I closed my conversation window with him
- Wait for 20 minutes
- I open a conversation window with this person and talk him something
- He received the message instantly.
In fact, now msn can even store messages sent to offline people, as ICQ used to do ten years ago. But this is for another bug.
