Multiple chat requests sent to contacts on signin

Some of my contacts are complaining that they get a chat request with me and
me in it when I do a multiple sign in.

I believe they are using an alternate client, is this something that will go
away by a change the MS does or will they have to wait for an update from the
people that write their clients?

Greetings Rich,

Yes this is a known issue with Adium and Pidgin. I very much doubt the protocol will be
changed -- the clients need to be updated.

That makes no sense. The problem is your end, stop downloading porn!

I've been using Pidgin for a long time, this has never happened. Where
did you get that information from?

Hi,

Obviously your contacts aren't using the new 2009 client and/or making use of the multiple
presence support.

It's a known issue so just go troll another thread.
