I am using papyon 0.5.1 and telepathy-butterfly 0.5.18 with empathy 2.30.2. The other day, when I was invisible on msn, someone was trying to send me messages via the msn webpage messenger application. I was only receiving some of the messages at the beginning and then no messages at all. However, later I realised that when I reconnected to msn I received ONE line of the missing the messages. At the next connection I got the another line of the missing messages and so on, until all of the messages which did not delivered then, were delivered in this way.
It seems to work fine for me (except for a bug I discovered that makes Empathy receiving the same message several times). Could you post (or send me) the debug log if that problem occurs again. From the Empathy contact list window, click Help->Debug and select "Butterfly" in the drop-down. Please note that the log contains the name of your contacts.
