Yeah that's what I thought at first, but if that was so then please explain this:

it says 10 online, and if the mobile contacts were included then it would be true, but with this contact i selected it says that he is not online, and it is the same for all the mobile contacts. therefore there is something wrong.

i don't know, i'm not sure if this has been always like this, cos i just realised it. although i'm pretty sure it wasn't like that before^o)

EDIT: ok this screenshot prooves that i'm not crazy, if you look at my other screenshots (especially the last one i posted) you see that mobile contacts aren't shown as online contacts, cos when they go online the move to the online group.

Ok... The Mobile Contacts are counted as online because you can still write to them, they will just recive the msg on their phone...´
This is just how it is....
you can go to your messenger main window, in the menu <Contacts> (I think it's called in english) and then under <Sort Contacts> and then choose the option to "Group Mobilecontacts"..... simple as that.... then your mobile contacts will be in a Group that is nammed "Mobile" but they will only be in this group as long as they are offline/mobile and when they come online they will be in the corresponding group....

people who are away, arent classed as online, but as away. However there still counted as online in the list. Maybe that count is not for people who are online, but people who you can talk to

if you want to get rid of the mobile group, you can use MessengerDiscovery ( http://www.huuf.net/prjlithium/ )
