 1. I was curious about buddy pounces... also in regards to not having an
 away/personal message for MSN... perhaps you could have pounces that are
 set for more than one person... meaning you can create multiple pounces
 for every person(in categories like all online, all offline, all this
 group, all this and that, etc) so you could turn it into an "away message"
 for msn or otherwise.

 2. Or considering that in options for setting buddy pounces, it mentioned
 "pounce only when my status is not available" perhaps it could be set to
 "pounce only when my status is <list>" and list being a list of saved
 statuses.

 Putting that together, you could essentially set an away message for MSN
 by having the pounce send to anyone who sends you a message while you're
 in that specific status.


 3. On that note as well, a suggestion would be to allow making "categories
 or groups" for the buddy pounce list... and of course, be able to set
 pounces to go off in intervals... such as instead of just "Pounce when
 buddy... Sends a message" you could have it set to "Pounce when buddy...
 Sends atleast <list(amount)> messages... so you could essentially have the
 away message sent every time they send a certain amount of messages.

 4. But then that just brings along another suggestion, an option that will
 send 1 message, being your away message in a certain specific status, and
 then only sending that 1 message every <list(amount)> messages after that.
 Meaning if you're away, and they send one message, you'll pounce 1 away
 message, and then if they keep chatting anyways, after another 3 messages
 from them, that same pounce will send the away message again, and again
 after another 3 messages from them, etc.

 One of the reasons for that last suggestion would be for those classic
 types who
 like
 to type
 one
 to three
 words
 per line
 and
 drives you
 insane.
 :)

 5. of course I mean adding on to that, would be if they sent
 <list(amount)> messages within <list(amount)> seconds, you could have a
 pounce set to say "SPAM!" or something :P


 heh, sorry for sending so many suggestions, but they came to me as I wrote
 this :) hope you find my suggestions interesting/useful and hopefully
 atleast one of them hasn't been suggested yet by another person :P

 P.S. - it is unclassified as it touches multiple components... perhaps
 another suggestion... heh
 6. could be the ability to set multiple components in tickets :)
