Cant send message to people not in my roster

Hi,

is this a bug or a "feature". I cant send message to people (or
entities/resources) who are not in my roster/contact list. I use "New
Message"/ Ctrl+N an typed a JID who is not in my roster (actually it was
someone in my roster, but I want to write to a special resource.
I use Gossip 0.28 on Ubuntu Hardy. 

If it's not intended I will file a bug. 

Regards,

Keywan
