Hmm, well, I do know in the database schema there is a way to mark
messages as not sent, but I am not sure I know exactly where the logic
is to check for unsent messages, and send them, say at the
ImConnectionAdapter layer.

Right. Specifying that a message must be OTR encrypted is tricky, as we
usually just handle that as a global preference (force, auto, as
requested OTR etc)

I understand the user experience you are seeking, and I definitely want
it myself. Being able to just send off a message or share a file without
worrying about connectivity state and knowing it will get there is
critical for our next level of usability.
