It could mean that they are online but have their messenger turned off because they don't want to talk to anyone right now.
Reply:Could mean these things:





- they're signed in to one of yahoo's webpages that requires login (my.yahoo.com, yahoo email, as a member in a yahoo group, etc.). This is why you see it in the address book.


- their messenger is off (they didn't start it)


- they set their "status" to "Invisible to Everyone" in messenger





Cheers!
