annotate src/accountopt.h @ 7896:4294afe670ad

[gaim-migrate @ 8556] Since the channel topic and the on-join message aren't enough to get people to read the FAQ, maybe it will help if they see this message before they ever come to see us. I'm not expecting anything, though... The average person has to be exposed to a piece of information seven times before reliably recalling it, and MSN users don't seem to be what I would call "average". committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
