Perhaps a newer version > has fixed it. Does anybody know? I think it is related to the fact that e-mail messages requires the v5 protocol, which licq doesn't implement yet. (I don't use licq anymore, I may be wrong) This is because e-mail messages can be longer than the pre-v5 characters limit. Anyone caring more than I =) about licq is welcomed to investigate and report to the maintainer. > With LICQ you have chat, and you can see the colors, > but you aren't able to colour the screen you are > typing it. But I don't mind. GnomeICU is doing most what ICQ98 was doing on windows. Chat (no more than 2 though, but that's the next update I think), File Transfert (alpha state. Works but crashed the client afterwise. (GnomeICU v0.64)) messages, UINs (beta state, has some troubles with v5 clients). >From past personnal experience, I'd say gnomeICU and licq are the two most advanced ICQ clients for linux, and ICQ-Java the most 'stable' and feature-full.
