Hi all,

Does anybody know how to apply iChat's "Always use this picture" feature to all buddies? I want all my iChat buddies to use their respective buddy icons from my Address Book (because I worked hard to organize the Address Book and want everything to look the same) instead of the one that the server is pushing.

The feature I'm talking about can be found by going iChat -> Right click a buddy and choose Show Profile -> Choose the Address Card tab -> You will see this option next to the buddy's photo. But obviously I don't want to do this for all buddies. Is there a plugin that has this ability? Maybe an applescript? A preference file that can be edited somewhere? Or perhaps another idea is turning off iChat's behavior of pulling the icons from the server automatically, this would do the trick because if there's no icon from iChat, it falls back on the Address Book for the photo.

Thanks!
