New description:

 Hey at the moment in IRC when i want to find out what client someone is
 using i would enter in the command /version <username>.

 When i do it to myself I get given: '(notice) Received CTCP 'VERSION
 Purple IRC' (to holdenss) from holdenss'

 What I am proposing is to have something similar to colloqoy gives out:
 '(notice) Received CTCP 'VERSION Colloquy 2.2.1 (4132) - Mac OS X 10.5.6
 (Intel) -  http://colloquy.info' (to holdenss) from ...

 I know this may not be a big issue but would help for people to know what
 version of adium I'm using and what OS update i'm up to instead of seeing
 that I'm using Purple IRC.

 What are your thoughts?

 This will require support in !LibPurple. Please file this report on the
 Pidgin Trac. @zacw said to post this from adium trac.

Comment(by rekkanoryo):

 If Adium wants to change the outgoing version string, they can do so in
 the same way that the irc-more libpurple plugin does (listen for the
 version reply going out and modify it).
