[Adium-devl] Alternative connections methods

[Andre-John Mas]

I wondering whether the options pane for the accounts could be changed
in future versions to have two radios:

   - automatic
   - custom

The automatic option (the "it just works" method) would use the fallback
code which would be coded into the account handler, with no user  
settings,
while the custom radio button would enable the fields to override the
default behaviour.

Items such as handling e-mail notifications would be separate to the  
above
two items.

Comments?
