iChat away message auto send

[Ja Di ksw]

Hey all, I'm one of the hopeless fools out there using iChat. Does anyone know a hack that makes it so your away message is actually sent when someone IM's you? I hate how it doesn't. Also, is there one to give you a profile? Apple really needs to add those to iChat, would make it so much better.
Thanks

iCAR is a good option, its not perfect, but it works pretty well. It has the odd phenomenon that should you send someone a message while your away message is up it will send your away message when they reply.
