Moving Buddies from one group to other

[anand arun]

Hi Paul,

The original move does not generate any error message. 
I will follow your suggestion to add new buddies but from your mail
I understand that its not a Pidgin issue and we cannot move the already
added buddies to another group. 

Thanks for you help.

- Anand.
