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. -- Michael
