@all@ should have the same effect in the UI as @online@, but with a
potential difference in the performance: @all@ is the conventional
shared roster and would send you presence for everyone registered on
the server, whereas @online@ is a bit more magic and only sends you
presence for people who are actually on line at the time. Perhaps some
of its magic smoke escaped.

@online@ is more useful for servers where only a (small) percentage of
the registered users are on line at a time.
