Re: New behaviour for non-buddy messages

In past versions, the messages were accepted from that buddy until you  
quit Fire.  This was changed to until you close the conversation.  If  
you wish to keep getting messages from a particular buddy without  
adding them to your buddy list, then add that buddy to Fire's buddy  
list, but uncheck the "in list" button under the accounts tab, and that  
buddy will not be in the server's buddy list.  This will allow you to  
receive messages from this buddy, but you will not see when the log on,  
etc.
