Asterisk only forwards an IM sent within an existing call (i.e. SIP 
dialog). Minisip sends IMs as a separate MESSAGEs and not within an 
existing dialog. This is how IM is commonly implemented in other SIP UAs 
as well, I think. You could replace your asterisk with a real SIP proxy 
(such as openser, yxa etc.) if you want to use IM, and use asterisk when 
you need a gateway or application server.
