My theory is that if I change my DP the server tells all my contacts that I changed it and they open a connection and download the updated display picture. Especially if you Sign out and back in once your Display Picture shows on the toast popup (side note: where did we come up with the name toast?) it will redownload the latest display picture. Once a session has been opened with you, you can check the status based on the email of the contact that has opened a session with you.

This in theory should work because if they are offline they can't open a session with you.

I have a few arguments, but I don't' want to re-type them... I have them saved somewhere. Let me fish them out...
