[Adium-devl] Trac .11 on eider

[Colin Barrett]

I worked this out with zac & coderanger on IRC. The announcer plugin  
suits my needs quite well.

Sorry for being so cranky earlier; my personal email situation is not  
very good -- it's split across several accounts on several servers and  
checked by several Macs, so there's not a good way to manage filtering  
that Just Works. It was wrong of me to take this out on Zac & Noah,  
and I'm sorry about that.
