Personal Message improvements by iamyangjh on 04-13-2005 at 03:29 AM

Two features Plus! can add-on for the Personal Message:

1. Supporting for the multi-line personal message

2. Pointing to another target, such as a text file, as the resouce for the personal message, in anther word, extending the Messenger's feature of extracting "Now Playing" as personal message. As a further improvement, the new target can be a pool of messages, while Messenger can iterate among the messages from the pool periodically or extract from the pool randomly.

Hope that can bring something funny!

1. Yeah, there's no point of having it.
iamyangjh, the personal message is only shown in the contact list, and it is restricted to be only one line message. If you know the multiline nick, nick looks having more than one line only in the convo window.
So, your personal message, if there is a such feature like that, would be unreadable.

2. Maybe he wants a random PSM?

1. I haven't seen a patch that can do this yet, but there may be. Try Mess.be.
2. This can be done in a plugin. Someone will do that eventually.
