Thanks for replying about this question. However I can't seem to figure out
how to access the isStranger property in Applescript. I tried the following
code:
if isStranger of eachContact then
log uName & "is a stranger"
But I get the following error
Adium got an error: Can’t make isStranger of contact "xyz" of account id 3 of
service "Yahoo!" into type specifier.
How is the isStranger property accessed in Applescript?
