 The summary says it all. When you want to send several files, Pidgin would
 '''take them all and ZIP them together''' (because ZIP works on most
 OSes). That should be an optional option, so that you could turn it off or
 on, otherwise it would send several files independently.

 It would name the file (if possible, that would be customizable too):

 (Possibilities or a connection of some of them)


 {{{
 1. Sender's name
 2. Receiver's name
 3. Time & Date
 4. Biggest/newest/oldest filename (or, if there are files like
 Picture1.jpg, Picture
 jpg it would name the folder "picture.zip")
 5. Protocoll name
 }}}


 But that's not the most important part. It could also be simply
 "files.zip", every time.


 I hope I described clearly what I wanted to show, just zip multiple files
 together when sending.


 By the way, this function is also available at "Trillian Astra".
