Middle_Man

That makes complete sense. Thanks for the explanation.

(by the way, nice job with Vario, there! I tried it out for a bit, pity it doesn't have a log viewer/friendly names though, so I switched back for the moment )

Ah, right, fair enough. I'm still curious as to why it's so difficult to implement, though...

I just picked up the new middle_man, and it's pretty sweet! I have an issue with how aliases are handled, though - would it be possible to read aliases embedded into your buddy list, ala "friendly names" in AIM 6? I took a look at a buddy list dump, and they seem to be a subsection of a buddy entry,...

Will the aliasing follow the official AIM format, used in 6.0 and AIM express? (and I think GAIM too) If you ask me, that seems to be the most tidy and efficient way to set it up.

How difficult would it be to import the official AIM logs from AIM 6.0? I just recently uninstalled it after finding MM, and I'd like to know if there's a way to integrate my old logs into the MM log viewer.
