Re: Fire status correspondence

You have invisible wrong for AIM!

0.32 series, you are not logged off, but as of the time that was 
written, not letting any buddies see you was the closest AIM could do.  
As a result, you cannot see your buddies because of how AIM worked, 
but, if you put yourself in your buddy list, go invisible on AIM, you 
can see and message yourself!  You are still connected to the servers, 
will still accumulate online time, etc...

0.99.3 invisible works on AIM!  You appear to log off to others, but 
you can message them, and if their client lets them send messages to 
those it doesn't see as online, they can message you.
