Hi,
question.. what about the windbag plugin ?
http://www.amsn-project.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2383
I don't think this should go as a 'style' but more as an option because a user
might want IRC style but still grouping the
consecutive messages.. or he might want his own custom style... So it looks
more like an option than a chat style (although
it is also a 'style' in the generic term..)
Since there is already a plugin that does this, and it's not really a core
feature, WLM doesn't have that, etc.. so I think
keeping it as a plugin is the best solution.
I don't know how the plugin does it, but if you want to take a look at it and
improve it, go ahead.
thx for the patch though! :)
