O.P. Long lost features
There are two things that I miss so badly from my earl IM days (on ICQ).

1. You used to be able to right click the Messenger status tray icon and as a part of the context menu, you saw a list of all online contacts.  Clicking on a contact would bring up a message window.  This was soooooo nice since it saved you a click or two.

2. Probably a little tougher to do.  I loved the old ICQ "float" feature where you could select special contacts and float them on your desktop.  A right click on their floating name would bring up the regular menu with send message as first option.  Double clicking the float would bring up a message window.

Both of these are so badly missed since I IM a very small number of people all day long.

The other thing I really need is a quick ping function.  My colleagues and I work in cubicles and often shout at each other to get someone's attention.  Problem is, we often have headphones on and can't hear the call.  I want a one click ping so a toast pops up that says "ping" so the user knows I'm trying to get his attention, but I don't have to open a message window and type "hey" and click send.

I know, I'm asking alot.  Are there any plugins to do any of this?  If not....Patchou Please!!!
