Why do you think it should be re-enabled?
Because without it Google Apps accounts show the certificate mismatch warning. This is, uh, comical. When I login to talk.google.com as [EMAIL PROTECTED] the certificate presented is for talk.google.com. When I login to talk.google.com as [EMAIL PROTECTED] the certificate presented is for gmail.com. When I login to talk.google.com as [EMAIL PROTECTED] the certificate presented is for googlemail.com. Maybe we should do this: Only set the connect server to talk.google.com when a Google Talk account is created that is not @gmail.com or @googlemail.com -Mark _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
