On my Windows Live Messenger, if you talk to someone who is truely offline, the time appears alongside your screen name in the chat box whenever you type and send something. When someone is 'Appearing Offline' the time is NOT shown.
Hope this helps

People who want to know if someone appears offline are people with to much time on their hands. And have messed up priorities. If someone's offline, they just want to look who's online and not be bothered by others.

Send them a email, with a receipt request when they open the email.
If you get a immediate receipt response. Then send them a email
asking them to chat.
Hotmail does not give email receipt request, but I know my outlook
at my work does; so you may have to fiddle around to figure out
how to do this.

OK HERE IS A HINT:open a chatwindow to the person you think is online using offline status
say hello and send the message
when you receive the message’ x is offline he will receive your message the next time he signs in’ , the contact is really offline, if there’s no message so he is online with offline status

when you know he’s got webcam just look if the webcam icon is shown, if the contact is offline and you can see that cam icon he is online using offline status
p.s it only works on windows live
