 Suggestion for future release: The ability to set status and conversation
 display format (b/g color, etc.) at the group and (ideally) buddy level in
 addition to the global pref's.

 Justification: Many / most who IM at work organize their buddy list into
 personal and work contacts.  When things get busy, it would be very useful
 to be able to. e.g., set do-not-disturb on personal buddies only, or set
 available only on your local workgroup.    Also, when you have more than
 one conversation open, it's far too easy to message the wrong person. (As
 I did with my boss this morning. :/ ) The ability to set, e.g., a distinct
 FG/BG format for certain groups and/or contacts would imho be a simple,
 effective way to prevent this.
