Bug Description

Binary package hint: empathy

When you chat with an online contact in msn, (he is using Windows Live Messenger)
if he changed to invisible, all messages you sent afterwards are lost without error notice.
You have to close the chatting window and reopen a new one to chat with him again.

And while the following problems did not occur when I tested them with my two accounts, they happened when I chat with my friends.

1.Chat with an invisible contact in msn while you are online, if you change to invisible, then your messages would be lost without warning (I don't know whether reopening the window would solve this problem.)

2.Chat with an online contact while you are invisible, if she change to invisible, then her messages would be lost without warning. (She is using Windows Live Messenger)

I cleared the logs first in empathy debug window. then on the window machine changed status to invisible. and what I can see in butterfly logs it thinks he disconnected. the logs later shows a reconnection that happened when *I sent a message from windows messenger* while staying offline. When he sets status to offline my message wont be sent unless he first starts the conversation.
