Setting Away Messages…
Thursday, June 22nd, 2006In this post I will cover the second of the two “Enable Inline Commands” option feature.
You just sent an IM to a buddy saying you will be right there. What’s the next thing you need to do? Set your away message, right? The RX-Plugin lets you do it from your IM compose window. No need to grab your mouse and find that “away” message button. Just type “a/Your away message/” (letters in bold are literal characters) and press enter. Your buddy might see you typing so, when you press enter, it will send “away message set…” to your buddy and set the message you typed in as your away message. When you come back, simply enter “a//” in any IM compose field and it will clear your away message. No message will be sent to your buddy when you clear your away message.
I encourage you to try it out today and welcome your feedback.
