For the record: I'm a Y! employee. And yes, I do work on messenger.

Try us. If there's a feature you'd like please feel free to write to

And those are precisely the areas at which the officially released client is
most effective at. I cannot see your point!

Most certainly. Let me repeat for emphasis: the days of the Unix client
being an step child of the Windows client are gone. It is under active
development, if you'd like to help in the process of getting a useful IM

And please feel free to send your flames, feature requests, issues
and all othe mails to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
