Make message history available offline

Hey! How come you can't access the message history when you are offline?
Any chance this will change before the final release?

LuDean

I appear offline now and i can access all users history. So i have no
problem with this.

Greetings,

Do you mean appearing offline or simply offline entirely? If you mean the latter, you can't
access the contact list unless you're online. Of course, what you can do is simply access
the files directly by going to the folder specified under the Tools menu, Options, Messages
category under the Message History heading.

I meant when I am actually offline entirely, not just appearing so. It
would be so much easier for the user if they just left it accessible while
offline. I can't fathom why they would have written it this way. Until it
changes (let's hope), I'll do what you suggested.

Hi,

Well the contact list can't really be shown in the current model without logging into the
service -- hence, nothing to show you to show the history.
