While I understand the use case scenario, I really don't like to start adding options to the context menu. Another option would be to mimic the behavior you can find in Adium: when you use the search bar, it shows results for all contacts, even the offline ones. This would make it easier to find your contacts, and you wouldn't need to have a context menu option to configure this. - Gustavo On 2009-04-02 00:12:57, gja wrote: > > ----------------------------------------------------------- > This is an automatically generated e-mail.
