Re: [abstruse idea] nnjabber.el?

[Michael Poole <poole@troilus.org>]

The mindset behind instant messaging (which is what Jabber supports)
and delayed messaging (which is what gnus supports) are very
different.  The operations available are basically disjoint; there's
not much point in writing one tool to handle both.

Having two tools (jabber.el and Gnus) that know how to talk to each
other and identify an individual (say, through bbdb, so you can send
email if someone isn't available for IM or check if the sender of an
email is available for IM) is a much better idea, but not one that's
very on-topic for this mailing list.
