Removing and re-adding the buddy was such a simple solution that I'm
embarrassed I didn't think of it myself--it worked, thanks!

Hi Quinn,
This normally means you are "not authorised" to see the other persons
presence information (online/away/offline etc) and that you should be
re-requesting the authorisation (not him). Depending on the XMPP
server that you're connecting to, you might need to remove the buddy
and re-add them. If it's gtalk.com <http://gtalk.com> as the XMPP
server, then that's a whole different kettle of fish with a different
solution (related to public vs private profiles and accounts)
Are you still able to send/recieve IM messages from him?
Cheers,
Eion

One of the chat protocols I use Pidgin for is Jabber, and I have a
buddy

all
of a sudden now he's showing up on my buddylist as "Not
authorized." The
only solution I could find googling was that my friend was
supposed to
be able to right-click on me on his own buddylist and find a "Request
(re)authorization" setting, but he says he doesn't see that. He's not
using Pidgin, he's using iMessage.
