Someone I converse with regularly online has a tendency to do this in a way that strongly conveys "your idiocy has left me speechless" in contexts where he seems to (or at least claims to) only intend "your position is surprising".
I use the ellipsis at the start of an IM sentence primarily when I've accidentally hit enter mid-thought.
