[JDEV] Presence Bug???

[Jim Burnett]

I agree with Ryan, I am developing a client with the jabberCOM library and
it does the same thing. I program function to store messages in a database
on the client side, then check for new messages or messages that havent been
read. Plus you can view your history by username. Kind of like the OutLook
express email client..
