Ahhh, hang on, I misread the request, Carlos wants to be able to detect the current MSN Nickname of the user that the MSN servers know about. This would help the first-use case of the transport where all the defaults are already correct (and the user doesn't have to supply them), before the transport goes walking all over them, with values from the jabber world.
i.e. is there a way for the transport to probe the MSN server for the stored nickname that the client can retrieve before the transport overwrites it with the value from the client vcard?

Didn't know about Trillian. I'll have to test that. Thanks. Avatars should be refreshed instantly, unless you changed the setting in PyMSNt/src/legacy/msnw.py Yes, Gajim 0.8 seems to support vCard avatars, so PyMSNt will send it to MSN users. But they only see it when they open a chat window to you. --- James On 22/08/2005, at 7:23 PM, Arnaud Ab?lard wrote: > We have been using in production PyMSNt 0.10 for now a few days and i > noticed that avatars coming from some clients (some msn7? some > trillian? not sure, hard to tell) aren't downloaded. > > no, i have a few questions: > > - when is the avatar refreshed?
