All right, this is a residual problem from when we didn't have proper 
yes/no dialogs, so I just implemented auto-add. The fix for this will 
make it into the release.

However, I'm still not sure how to handle the case where we reject a 
user's add attempt, but they message us. In keeping with current EB 
policy, I suppose they ought to just be auto-added to both the contact 
and away lists.

However, we still need to do something about this, and include support 
for conversations with people not on your contact list. I think, 
however, that this is a discussion for after the release.
