 Replying to [comment:30 netswipe]:
 > If you look at the initial thread it definitly is. In my opinion it is
 furthermore very important that pidgin supports other messengers as long
 as they are used by more than 5% of your friend. In my case there are
 about 2% Pidgin oder Finch users and more than 10% Trillian Users. A
 project which primäry targets are bringing different networks and kinds of
 software together should not keep their eyes shut.

 should be and is part of pidgin too. What is a messenger who can get aways
 but cannot be read?

 > Okay now to the thinkg with fetching: In some cases (at the moment i'm
 not sure how often this happens) aways by icq 6 users are shown two times.
 Thisch means, tha pidin shows: Message: $away$away.

 ticket about fetching: #703[[BR]]
 ticket about sending: #931[[BR]]
 ticket about away-msg printed out two times: #4984[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 Can ICQ 6 user see the aways of Trillian-user? This is an important
 question.
 Because Pidgin can read ICQ6 aways (mostly) correct. So if Trillian sends
 its aways incorrect (like Pidgin does it, too) it is not a problem for
 pidgin developer to fix this. It isn't a task for the Trillian-devs, too,
 to fix their programm that they can read Pidgin's aways...?!?
