Version: 0.12.5 (using KDE 3.5.7, Debian Package 4:3.5.7.dfsg.1-1 (lenny/sid)) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.20 being offline i clicked a user in contactlist, to check something in history -- all i get is a popup saying "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." so, why that? it should be possible to view history even if offline, this message is justified _only_ when attempting to actually _send_ something!
It is possible to view the message history when offline: right-click a contact, then "View history" (or sth similar, don't have the english version to check it). I guess you tried to open the normal chat window and use its "Back" function to view history. I fully agree that opening a chat window should be possible even in offline mode, because it's just useful - either to view the history that way or to prepare the message to be sent or whatever. I think only the actual sending of the message should be blocked when offline.
Turning into a wish.
This is working on Kopete 4.6.1. Reopen the bug if you think it is still valid.
