As soon as I get myself back up to speed. Three and a half weeks is an 
awfully long time to let your email build up...

No, this is good. I want to know what people want, otherwise development 
just wanders off in my direction rather than following what the users 
want.

Philip's currently rewriting us a Yahoo module, as our old one is 
horribly bad. I think we'll have to limp on with it for the next alpha, 
though :-(

Chris has been working on this already. I think it's actually in the 
latest (trunk) ebqt - look out for it in the next alpha.

Yep, known bug, driving me up the wall as well. If anyone could give me 
a hand, it would be wonderful. For now, I suppose I could turn on 
offline messaging...

Intrinsic design feature. Been there from alpha-1 :-)

You can either copy the cookie manually into the boxes from the first 
line of core output (those numbers it prints out on startup are the 
cookie), or copy ~/.everybuddy/authcookie into ~/.everybuddy/ on your 
laptop. Then, all you need to do is change the hostname field to your 
main computer, and hit connect. And yes, I'm looking at streamlining 
this - do you have any thoughts about how this could be made easier?
