Many IRC servers provide a service that allows users to send messages to offline users, which are then relayed to the user when they come online.

  Kind of a toothless "many" when this isn't even built into Freenode. I have to wonder if any IRC server I've ever connected to supported it and why I've never seen this feature.

    It's a common IRC bot feature. Typically there's a command like: .tell <user> <message>
