These two defaults seem in conflict with each other. If don't remove the away message on send, then clearly one wants to converse while away (using away messages more as a presence like in Jabber rather than an away like in AIM). If one is conversing with people, then why not receive new messages? > So, the goal here is to get rid of a bunch of preferences, and then > re-organize them such that the dialog is a little less weildly.

My experience with messaging clients has shown me that at some point somebody decided their preferences should have a learning curve about on par with a college Constructing Proofs class. It would be great to see somebody break from this. -- Andrew Sayman <gt...@ma...> |
