Description
When I am in a conversation with a contact using MSN, after a while (don't know exactly if it's a number of messages or a timespan) any further messages will stop arriving. Most of the time, I'm still able to receive messsages from them, though.
The error message I get arrives some seconds, but mostly minutes, later, and is as follows:
Ihre Nachricht wurde aufgrund einer Zeitüberschreitung wahrscheinlich nicht gesendet. Konnte nicht senden: ein Verbindungsfehler ist aufgetreten.
(I'd translate that to: "Due to a timeout, your message could not be delivered. Could not send: A connection error has occured")
This has been like that for some time now, at least for a few months and it was already there on 0.89. I guess it has something to to with the version my contacts are using - maybe(!) it only appears with contacts using Windows Live Messenger; almost never with Adium (though I wouldn't exclude that too).
As a side note, all of my contacts are probably using the German localized version of Windows Live Messenger, if that is of any importance.
