annotate .todo @ 10274:3016b1b32339

[gaim-migrate @ 11424] Don't allow sending oversized messages on MSN - they wouldn't get there, and the switchboard server would disconnect us. Also fix up the oversized message truncation which should have been truncating the messages anyway. Add support for sending strikethrough on MSN (not that anyone can actually enter strikethrough tags yet) And a slight change to the building of chat user status icons. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

        away rethink
        <note priority="medium" time="1036040310">
            Away needs to be modified to include "show" and "status", i.e. you can have an away state, and an away message. This is exactly what ICQ does - you're "N/A" (show in Jabber) and your away message is "I'm gone." (status in Jabber). Since it only applies to ICQ and Jabber (and actually, currently only Jabber, since icqlib doesn't handle away messages yet), there should be some way of indicating that it can do both without breaking the others. My suggestion is to put "/" at the end of the "state", and when that's there, have it be a menu with all of the custom messages, e.g. in Jabber it'd return "Away/" as one of the states, and you'd see "Away" with a menu of all the away messages you have.
