Very understandable. :) Perhaps using snail mail and international money 
orders? (if there is such a thing) There must be a way around it. I do have 
PayPal, for what it's worth. Their charges are not that bad it seems. Maybe 
not so for conversion though.

As for the features for cash I think it's a great idea so here goes...

I'll offer US $100 dollars to the developer who implements the following 
feature into Konversation:

An automatic away system interface consisting of the options -
1. Input area for amount of inactivity time before setting automatic away.
2. Option to suppress new windows/tabs while away.
3. Input area for auto away message.
4. Input area for return message from auto away.
5. Option to prevent activity from setting automatic return on key press.

If anyone is interested in taking this up please let me know. I know I'll get 
a lot of use out of this feature and hopefully others will too. :)

Cheers,
Dave
