IM notifications for specific buddies?

If this functionality does not exist, then I would like to suggest it - even though I'm not sure where the best place is to send suggestions (?) It would be great if new message notifications could be set to only make sounds/ or more preferably: only make the IM window blink if specified buddies

Re: setup proxy

2009-05-27 Thread ChO₂
You can configure one application to use a proxy and configure another to connect directly at the same time. In Pidgin, you can configure proxies per-account (but not per-application). This means that you won't need to configure Pidgin in any special way if you want to use BitTorrent via Proxy.

2009-05-27 Thread ChO₂
I'm afraid that you might have misunderstood something (although I might be on the wrong track with this assumption): - The local alias is only local, that's why it's called a _local_ alias. It is *only* shown to *You*, not to other users. Your buddies will see your friendly name (or an alias

MSN doesn't support this natively which is Microsoft's fault. Of course, you can use a gateway service, but you'll need to use another client to set it up since Pidgin only supports _using_ Jabber/XMPP transports but not transport _registration_. In addition to that, transports have some

Thanks for the useful information. I really don't like the idea of a bridge, so I guess I need an MSN account just to contact my friends there. Just another great reason to not like Microsoft. ChOv(2) wrote: MSN doesn't support this natively which is Microsoft's fault. Of course, you can use
