This bug appears to be partially mooted, because apparently now Empathy will not show the logged-in user in the buddy list. To be clear, my user name is still listed in my AIM buddy list, it's just that Empathy filters it out of the displayed contacts.
Pidgin and Adium still show your logged-in user in your buddy list (assuming you have added yourself to your own buddy list), and if you send an IM from one of those clients, while you are also logged on (with non-away status) to an Empathy client, your Empathy client will not show the message. ** Changed in: empathy (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/666117 Title: empathy (AOL IM protocol) does not handle messages to the logged in user from the same user (from another host) correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/666117/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
