Bug Description

Binary package hint: pidgin-facebookchat

Hey Eion,

In 1.53, you introduced:

"* IM History displays when opening a conversation window"

Could we please have a way of turning this off and off by default (maybe have an option for it in the preferences)? It's a neat feature and all, but! Someone just opened a new chat with me and the notification bubbles system Ubuntu flooded with the conversation last night I had with the same person, displaying everything and the new message.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Arg! There is an option which can do this.... any way I can set it to false by default or will it need a patch of the source?

I haven't checked functionality, but the switch is present in 1.60. (advanced account settings)

A correct behavior is not send notification on history messages.
