Comment (by marcel):

 Well it's a nice thing when you can see the actual status message of the
 buddy your are currently talking to in your conversation window (but "Show
 Buddy Details" has to be turned on in your buddy list otherwise you won't
 see any away messages - personally I don't like such a big buddy list with
 away message and picture, I like the "mouse-over dialog" more for such
 things...).

 But I don't really have to see the account name of my buddy...  the alias
 is enough.  I can use the "Sent To" menu when I want to see to which
 account I'm talking.

 A nice to have feature would be if you are able to decide what you want to
 see in that extra status area, like:
 [] Buddy Account[[BR]]
 [] Buddy Status Message[[BR]]
 [] Buddy Icon (this option is already there... ;))[[BR]]

 And of course without enabling "Show Buddy Details" in your buddy list,
 the conversation option should handle these things.

 For now I disabled the extra status area because I think it's kinda ugly
 (due the for me unnecessarily shown account name of the buddy). ;)
