Hello,

I'm using iChat v. 4.0.2. I have setup iChat to use Jabber with transfer with MSN. So I'm using iChat to work through MSN. It's working great except the usernames of everyone. They are formatted in the following.

Example: yourname%yourdomain.com@msn.

I would like to format them as yourname@yourdomain.com

Does anyone have any clue on how to do this? I have noticed in iChat you can have iChat run an Apple Script at login. I'm just a new programmer so I don't really have a clue how to do this? Can anyone make a script?

Thanks for all your help

Kayle
 
I don't think it's possible (From reading the jabber tutorials) although if you link the account with one of your address book cards, you'll end up with the name from the address book card showing up rather than the messy email address.

Thanks I'll give it a try.
