FWIW, I fail to see how this is seen as a "low priority" issue as people forget that pidgin is disconnected (every other application that I use reestablishes its connections automatically) and cannot be reached during this time. The only way I see an issue could be more pressing is if the application didn't work at all.

Reproduction: internet connection is away for a while (in my case wireless link physically broken for a while). All protocols get disconnected. Message appears in Pidgin under the list of contacts. Sofar this is expected. Then, the messages do not go away when connection comes back - appearently Pidgin does not quickly reconnect after internet connection comes back.
