Comment (by undeadmetaphor):

 Replying to [ticket:5222 undeadmetaphor]:
 > I am using Pidgin for multiple protocols, but my concern is with AIM. I
 have the preferences set to Auto-reply with both away and idle, but when I
 put up an away message it does not auto-reply. I have tried setting it to
 just auto-reply when away and not idle, but to no avail. I have also tried
 deselecting "Auto-away when idle" just in case it was waiting for me to
 become idle, but that also did not work.

 On further experimentation, it seems that it does work when I set it to
 only "when away" and someone I have not been exchanging IMs with sends me
 a message. "Both away and idle" does not produce this behavior. Am I
 misreading this? I assumed "both away and idle" meant EITHER away OR idle,
 but perhaps it means away AND idle? I am used to having AIM's idle-
 autoresponse that was different than the away message. Is this the case?
