I haven't got around to writing anything, but we need to be able to send
files to people who are offline. This would allow actual attachments and
inline images in offline messages where the sender is offline too.

The offline case also needs to be handled by Jingle too. There's
currently no way to leave any kind of voice message, whether online or
offline.

Sadly, one of Jabber's best features is gradually being forgotten as we
move forward.
