[Serusers] Windows Messenger 5.0

[Jan Janak]

That is probably because of the instant messaging and presence model
implemented in MS Messenger.

When you UserA signs in, his messenger sends a SUBSCRIBE to UserB to
find out his status (online/offline). Because UserB didn't sign in yet,
the SUBSCRIBE message will be not replied and UserA thinks that UserB is
offline.

Messenger of UserA tries to resend the SUBSCRIBE again later, but
meanwhile you see UserB offline (even if he signs in during this
period).

After some time (I don't know how long) messenger of UserA should retry
and then you will see UserB online.
