 > Did you read ticket 414? Did you read the mailing list thread that
 followed 414? Can you give us your "uses" for them in the buddy list? Can
 you give us your "uses" for them in the conversation window?

 I did read ticket 414, I didn't read the mailing list thread because I
 couldn't find a worling link to the list archive (http://pidgin.im/cgi-
 bin/mailman/listinfo is 404).

 I'd like to have the protocol specific icons in the buddy list because I
 have some buddies who are online in more then one account all the time. I
 know at which time of the day which account to use so they get the message
 in a timely fashion.
 In the buddy list I can hover the mouse over a contact to get the details
 including the protocol, so I can live without the protocol being displayed
 in the buddy list, I would prefer to "just see" it nevertheless.

 I'd like to have the protocol specific icons in the conversation window
 for the same reason: When I come back and find some conversations open, I
 may want to answer via another account of that contact. If I want to do
 this I can use the "Send To" menu, but to check whether I want to use
 another account, I have to use the "Send To" menu, too. Having the
 protocol visible on top of the tab would be very useful.

 I could change the different contacts to include the protocol in the local
 alias but would prefer icons instead.
