This is exactly what ICQ does - you're &quot;N/A&quot; (show in Jabber) and your away message is &quot;I'm gone.&quot; (status in Jabber). Since it only applies to ICQ and Jabber (and actually, currently only Jabber, since icqlib doesn't handle away messages yet), there should be some way of indicating that it can do both without breaking the others. My suggestion is to put &quot;/&quot; at the end of the &quot;state&quot;, and when that's there, have it be a menu with all of the custom messages, e.g. in Jabber it'd return &quot;Away/&quot; as one of the states, and you'd see &quot;Away&quot; with a menu of all the away messages you have.</font></li></ul>
