You can add a 'buddy' to your list consisting of the phone number in the right format. Messages will then appear with the appropriate alias. I don't know if anyone plans on implementing any other enhancements (and I personally have no interest in doing it; I don't use SMS-via-Pidgin); you should check http://d.pidgin.im and file enhancement requests as appropriate. > Many thanks. > > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: SMS > Date: Sun, 3 Jan 2010 20:55:02 -0500 > > I (re)set up my Yahoo IM in Pidgin, but do not see the New Instant Message > dialog option.
