For some reason iChat doesn't display people's away messages correctly--it shows people who have set away messages as idle, or sometimes is switches between idle and away for no reason. This is really annoying. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know of a fix? (I am running the latest version of os x (10.2.3))

Yeah, I have the same thing happen to me. The only fix I know of is to have the person disallow them showing as idle. Idle's handy for seeing if someone wandered away from their computer w/o showing status, but in iChat it's annoying to message someone whose status is "Idle 5 minutes" and get their auto-reply away message.

I've been hearing "any day now" for two weeks. Maybe this week?
