When offline and without messages synchronised, this code calling DisplayMessage gets an exception from the back-end, and nothing happens. The previously displayed message is still displayed. We should remove it and show a message about things being unavailable.

I don't think this is quite the same problem as the message being unavailable because it hasn't synchronised yet, but that is also problematic.

This just replaces the error message as it was before, no attempt has been made to make it pretty or use sensible strings.

I have however changed how the error works, it is now dealt with at the front-end when the back-end returns NS_ERROR_OFFLINE, instead of the back-end trying to deal with it.
