#7544: Account not identified for unsolicited IMs received

 I occasionally receive unsolicited IMs (from individuals who are not on my
 buddy list).  When this happens, the protocol is identified (by a small
 icon in the title bar of the IM window).  But the account they have sent
 to does not appear anywhere.  This is important context information that
 I'd like to know before responding (if at all).

 For buddies on my list, I can pause the mouse on their status indicator in
 the IM window, and it shows, among other things, the protocol and which of
 my accounts they are sending to.  Presumably the same account will be used
 if I choose to respond, block, etc.  But for non-buddies, there is no pop-
 up, and there seems to be no way to find out this information.

 I am using 2.5.2 for Windows, and this occurs with at least aim & yahoo.
 Haven't tried multiple accounts on other protocols, but it may not be
 limited to just those.

 Update: I can find the account by choosing Conversation->Add..., and the
 correct one appears as the default choice.  But there should be a more
 obvious way.
