What I mean is, in MD I have "Server closed chat session" option ticked. Now after a while when the server closes the connection, MD kicks in and says it has been closed.

Now, does Plus! see that message MD has put into the conversation as a message from the contact, thus sending them the away message?

Edit: I just did a test. I put myself in away mode and opened a window to someone. Said hi then left it. Here are the results:

Aaron says:
hey
Sarah says:
hi
Server closed chat session.
Aaron auto-message: Gone to work.
Sarah closed your conversation window.
