for those of us that use windows media player and the playlists that come with it. I'm not and will never be an iTunes user and i have had winamp and it is nice for the sole reason of flac support but I have not found a way to get the music list to work as well as the one in WMP.

In some other clients, /away and /status are used to change away and status messages. For example, if I am talking to somebody and need to quickly go away, I just type "/away eating brb" into a conversation window and send it, my away message goes up with "eating brb". If I want to change my status, "/status bored" would change my status to "bored".

Ability to only show an email icon in the system tray if there are unread messages.

Right-to-left languages (Hebrew, Arabic) should be supported in message dialogs and popups. This includes:

2) Displaying incoming RTL messages as RTL, according to the Unicode display standard (i.e, if a message starts with an RTL character, it is to be formatted as RTL).
