** [bugs:#845] "Unavailable Message" feature is clumsy and not always working**
**Status:** pending-fixed
**Group:** 14.10.31
**Created:** Mon Dec 08, 2014 05:27 PM UTC by Franz Zieris

See attached screenshot, which illustrates the following problems:
1. "Show Unavailable Message" is ambiguous, it could also mean "Show the
message that is unavailable".
1. The message box looks like a "Hello World".
1. During a test, holger5 used the Pidgin IM client to enter the "extended
away" state (which is a preconfigured state): In the session view, this was
listed as "xa", in the context menu there was the "Show Unavailable Message"
entry, but clicking on it had no effect.
Therefore, this menu entry (and the message box, of course) should be removed.
If such status information is available, I see two viable ways for Saros to
handle it:
1. Leave it as is, i.e. clock icon overlay plus blue "<span
style="color:blue">(away)</span>" or "<span style="color:blue">(xa)</span>"
suffix.
1. Same as 1., but show the first 20 something characters of the status message
if any exists.
