[Adium-devl] Fwd: [Adium-feedback] Auto-Accept Direct Connect

[Colin Barrett]

I'm not entirely sure this behavior is always the right thing to do --  
Especially since the persons IP is displayed in UI, and direct  
connection is in general a privacy issue, I think there's definitely a  
case to be made for having a way to turn this off.

Thoughts?
