I do use MSN, but never encountered any issue talking with offline /  
invisible people. Even with Adium 1.3.1.

However, even with Adium 1.3, I had plenty of crashes due to the msn- 
pecan library... And they rarely were the same errors. But 1.3.1 betas  
and stable never crashed yet. Wait and see... :)

What does msn-pecan has that msnp15 doesn't ? Status messages ?
