Heey,
so much speaking without me :'(
Are you crazy to flood my mailbox like that ?
Anyway, IMO, putting FTs in CL is a really bad idea as I think that many
people don't look at it when they are in a speaking with someone so EVEN
if HIG would say that I would be totally against. By the way, HIG as
some really strange ideas about notification icons... And I hate Gnome
:p (no j/k : I dislike it (piuuh I almost threw a troll on the ML :d) )
Anyway, about putting it in the same window that the discussion, I think
that's a good idea : that let us always see the FT state but... I think
it takes its place in the window (imagine my CW with no DPs : I want to
maximum for the discussion because that's the aim of this window)
Putting FTs embedded in the output text area is for me silly as we loose
it too easily and I agree with many of you when you say that's a dl
manager hasn't its place in aMSN (Youness please stop with Opera : as
soon as a soft is closed source, it is EVIL :p)
Browser have a dl manager because a user (you for example) downloads
various things but it's always bound to your interests or sth like that.
With IM, the FT is more bound to a user (there is context : you
receive/send this file because you speak about sth precise with your
contact).
I still wonder how we could melt such a list in the chat window without
any repacking (repacking is always ugly and all the window flicker :s)
But if we find how to put this list, I would be to put FT requests also
in it : like that, you can easily accept a past FT and that put every FT
related things in the same place.

PS I will try to avoid looong mails like Youness ones. He would beat me
too easily :d
