[IRCServices Coding] feature request: instant messanger fields

[Ganja51]

And protocols such as these often change as well. I know IMServ often has
problems working with AIM simply due to the fact AIM keeps changing it's
protocols. These protocols are undocumented as well, which makes it a lot of
work for so very little. I'm not saying it's a useless feature, but I agree
that it would be far to much work to incorporate and maintain.

> well, i regard it as 'totally useful' and i'm sure others would do the
same, and this has nothing to do with the email protocol.. what it _DOES_
have to do with is the ICQ / YIM / MSN / AIM protocols, all complex, and
most undocumented. ICQ Pager works by taking a HTTP POST from a website, and
has been prooven un-reliable, as its simple enouigh for users to press an
'Off' button on them, as they are mostly used for spam. Also there is a high
chance that you will get a page informing you that the message send has
failed. And as i was saying, this would take a conciderable ammount of
coding, for something that will rarely be used.

protocol are _VERY_ complex in the way they work, and it all seems kinda
pointless.
