Hi
Just FYI, I'm using Adium 1.2b7. What I do is have it set to
automatically read all incoming messages, as we can't yet currently
interact with the scroll area that contains the message text. I did
however, make an interesting discovery. It seems that the scroll area
is simply a container control for an html control, just like the one
we use on the web--you can see this if you move keyboard focus to the
toolbar and tab a few times, you'll wind up in the message text area.
It doesn't help us to read it, since VO's cursor won't go inside, but
it does give me a clue as to what's going on and perhaps the devs
will fix it when I explain to them exactly what the problem is.
However, when I'm reading messages automatically and miss something,
command+l takes me to the chat transcript viewer. The text area
inside that window is fully accessible. It's not the most efficient
way to IM, but I've found it more reliable than the msn transport
through Jabber and more convenient as well.

Hi all,
Well, in the stable release of Adium, when you whent through your
contact list, it would only say, "Available contact" or "away
contact, "Offline Contact", and so on. Now, it says the name of the
contact, and there status, just how you'd expect.
What I still don't get however is that everyone I talk to when I
send a message it says that the person appears to be offline when
they really aren't, or at least I don't think they are. Anyone else
have these issues? Well we may just have an accessible, easy to
use, no server configuration needed messenger client fully
accessible soon. Another thing I also couldn't do is read messages.
Than again, this is only my second time using this Application, but
at least the versions are improving and not getting worse.
Everyone should try this out. Get it from http://adiumx.com
