When one is typing a chat message and the addressee logs off,
the message is lost, and one has to type it again as "leave mail".

I'd suggest to automatically convert the chat message to a
"leave mail" message.

I agree...but a small quibble. If someone is online and you "leave mail" for them, they will not get it until they log off and then back on. So, if you are typing a mesage to someone, they log off (disconnect), it switches to leave mail but they log back on, well, you see they may not get it when you thing they will. Maybe this default of leave mail if they are on line should also revert to send mail if they are (but not playing in a tournment).

This can be solved by deciding to mail or to chat on the moment it is send, not on the moment the message is typed. So i would suggest not to offer a choice, but only a mark if other is online. On sending the program can choose the right way.

But if a player is in a tourment and can't recieve chat, I guess sending as mail.. maybe at the time he logs out of tournment is best. But this as a priority item should be fairly low.
