Peter, I'm replying to you about your response to me which states "5. who doesn't even want to use Growl". I DO want to use Growl, which is why I've spend so much time trying to debug it. I was trying to determine why "Show Grolw icon in menu bar" wasn't showing it from the very start of my computer session. If you read my original posting, you can see where I was experimenting with "Show Growl icon ...". Turning Growl OFF led to the Recovered files problem, so I had to continue in that mode to try and debug that problem. Allow me to quote what you said 08/29 10:27, "Many users don't understand where Adium's install process ends, so even if you know better, it's worth not letting the misstatement stand uncorrected, for the benefit of other, less-experienced users who may read this thread later." So, in that spirit, I'm responding to your assertion that I'm someone "who doesn't even what to use Growl". Please, let's not start a flame-war.
