Status Message Retriever
This is a plugin that retrieves status messages based on timer and on status change. It is made for protocols that store the status message at the client, like ICQ does.
Please, do not enable this for MSN nor Jabber, because it can cause bad side effects (these protocols handle status message internally and smr can break things).

I have some problems with ICQ XStatus messages and your plugin. It works like a charm with normal status messages (the plugin updates them without a problem), but when a contact set a XStatus message, the plugin will remove it when it updates the messages (I use clist modern to display the messages below the contact name). When I update the message manually by moving the mouse over the contact name (I use Tipper YM), the XStatus message is displayed properly; at least until Status Message Retriever updates it. I already set in the options of the plugin to use the XStatus message, but it doesn’t work.\n\nMaybe this may also be related to this:\n\nhttp://forums.miranda-im.org/showthread.php?7560-Status-Message-Retriever-plugin&p=176283#post176283\n\nI hope you can look into this. Keep up the good work

Doesn’t seem to poll AIM Away messages at all. Works fine with ICQJ though.
mToolTip does retrieve AIM Away messages when hovering contacts. Please check it whenever you get some spare time… this century, preferrably.
