If the protocol in question supports having a buddy in more than one group (I know XMPP does this, and I believe some others do) then you should simply be able to add the person to the new group in pidgin a second time to do this. Short of that a plugin could be written to create a "fake" Favorites group with dummy entries for the favorite buddies which aren't actually stored on the server, etc. -Etan _______________________________________________ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
