[JDEV] Offline Messages to a specific resource...

[Michael Brown]

Yeah - I would also be interested in a solution that allows us to force a
message to an "offline" resource.  Often when I am at work for example, I
want to send myself a link so I can look at it when I am at home and have
more time.  It this case, it would be nice to be able to send a message
containing the URL to me at server/home from me at server/work, even if I have not
left myself logged on at home.

In normal situations I agree it makes sense for messages to be delivered to
the next resource to come online.
