Is there any way to forward received IMs, either to an email address or another IM account? Use case is getting IMs from work to my cell phone, which can accept either SMS TXT messages, AIM, Yahoo Messenger (YIM), or Emails.
If not, is there an easy way to call an external script with the text of a message as an argument?
Thanks,

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
If you know how to work with perl, you can consider using the perl plugin support to do this. If you are familiar with libpurple API, you might be able to use the API from perl and do this forwarding business. Here are some starting points for you:
- A P2P AIM Robot in Perl (http://www.google.com/bookmarks/url?url=http://www.webreference.com/perl/tutorial/13/5.html&ei=45JpRv32K6H2qgOTqfnvAQ&sig2=PeoEpTsOmirfwzyGGKHRTw&zx=ynP0xOvSJak&ct=w) . Seems like it is designed for Gaim, so most probably it will not work with Pidgin, but can you give some ideas.
- A perl HOW-TO (http://developer.pidgin.im/doxygen/dev/html/perl-howto.html), not complete enough to get you started, and still needs to be updated for Pidgin (still refers to gaim).
- A sample plugin that works with Pidgin and shows you how to intercept all messages (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1731121&group_id=235&atid=390395).
I hope this information is useful to you.
