[JDEV] delayed messages

[mark at mjwilcox.com]

Haven't looked exactly at the code to do this, but you'd probably 
have to hack something into the Jabber server.

Basically you could customize the server not to send anything to 
anyone who's not online.

Or better, add a tag to your message that says:
<time-critical/>

if that tag is visible and the person isn't online, then they don't get 
it. Otherwise they do (get the message if they aren't currently 
online).

I'd wait until 1.2 comes out to really do anything like this on the 
server. Trust me, you don't want to hack anything into the 1.0 
server. I've spent the last 6 weeks doing that... ;)
