true, but if your status is apper offline, your contact might not know they are able to reply as the last 7 versions of MSN did not allow that
People rarely check the upper statusmessage in the conversation to see if someone is online or not (the status message isn't very clear either anyways).

If people recieve text, they simply reply to it (and only later will find out if the message couldn't be send or not -if that was the case-; and then wonder how on earth they got a message in the first place... so all in all, people will reply anyways instead of checking and then thinking "hmmm, he is offline so it is uselles to reply now")...

PS: fix your quote in your post ;)
