Greetings Piglet,
Messenger can't do this, but Messenger Plus Live can (a third party addition to Messenger),
which you can find here:
http://www.msgplus.net
By default (unless you modify it), Plus will provide you with an alert when contacts go
offline but only those you presently are in a conversation open with -- which is probably
exactly what you want.
