Re: [Gaim-devel] patch to add horz. scroll for editpane

[Felipe C. <al5...@ma...>]

That's why I always tought that there should be two aliases, the local
alias, and the remote alias. The remote alias is the one your friend has
set, and the local is the one you set, obviously the local one is more
important.

I even did a patch for that.

PS. Sorry about mailing with Outlook Express, I don't have a linux box, does
anyone know of a decent email program?
