- ICQ protocol plugin for Miranda IM (Joe)
- ________________________________________
-
-
- About
- _____
-
- This Miranda IM plugin makes it possible to connect to the ICQ
- instant messenger network and communicate with other ICQ users.
-
-
- Known Problems
- ______________
-
- - In Invisible mode, when other side is not in visible list messages are sometimes
- received twice from some clients (it is a problem of that clients, they do send them
- twice)
-
- - In Invisible mode, when other side is not in visible list messages are not unicode
- aware. This is because ICQ protocol does not support unicode offline messages.
-
- - When synchronising server-list, users get added with await auth flag or receive added
- message. The way which ICQ servers handle authorisations, we cannot do it better - when
- uploading contacts to server account has to be a new one, then contacts can be added
- and uploaded without auth... If the account is an old one they cannot be added without
- auth if they require one. So they are added with flag awaiting auth. With the new
- Manage server list contacts added contacts should never receive auth requests, but
- if you have an old account they can receive added notification.
