The document (http://msn-transport.jabberstudio.org/docs/user.html)
states the following:
Multiple Resources
Jabber allows you to log into your account multiple times. For example,
you could be logged in at home, at work, and on your laptop simultaneously.
Because MSN Messenger does not have any concept of this, messages will
always go to your /highest priority/ resource by default. It is
important to set the client you're using to a higher priority that the
ones that you're not.
If you do happen to send a message to somebody from a lower priority
resource, then messages from that person will be sent to that resource
until:
* You log out from that resource.
* You send a message to that person from another resource.
* That user closes the chat window on their machine."
However atleast my discussions with James, has lead me to believe that
messages will only be redirected for a certain amount of time, and I
checked with 0.10-rc2 and that seems to be the case. I would think that
the actions described above would be best.
... ACTUALLY now I remember, I think that MSN kills conversations after
about a minute of idle time, so it looks like they closed there window,
but actually didn't. Could either the documentation above be corrected,
or perhaps even better, could the last condition above be removed.
The problem with the idle timeout, is that if I am using jabber, a few
times I am talking with someone and then after a few minutes, I no
longer get messages, I think they aren't responding, but when I get
home, and check my laptop, they did respond, I just didn't get them at work.
