[gaim-migrate @ 5727] Buddy icon support! The MSN protocol does not support this, but it does allow for different content-types, which no client (except a couple broken ones I can name) will see. So, I managed to extend the protocol a bit to do buddy icons. It should work like AIM. Setup your icon in your account editor, and message somebody. If they change their icon, however, you will have to close the conversation window, re-open it, and send another message. That's just how it has to work for now, I'm afraid. Oh, and another thing. MSNP7 (P6 as well? Not sure) times out inactive conversations after 5 minutes. Right now, you're seeing "User has closed the conversation window" messages, but they're really not. So, we now print out a message saying it timed out. Ugly, yes, but unless we have both messages, there's confusion. Oh well! Kick the hay! committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
