Here's a situation that crops up frequently.

I am away from my computer or not paying attention and a friend chats to say "want to play?" or whatever. I of course don't see it and ignore it. Five minutes or so later, I see it and try to respond. That person is now playing a robot (or other) tournament and I can't chat. That I understand. I can also understand why you wouldn't want me to send an internal mail message for immediate delivery (we might be cheating!). But couldn't the mail server simply hold the message until the tournament was finished. That way, I could send my apologies and suggest playing when he/she is finished without me having to watch to see if the tournament was over.

Simple, right?

Yes, I agree that this would be a useful feature.
