used to use adium about a year and a half ago... just switched back from iChat. while i used iChat i had everyones buddy icon in my address book (because iChat pulls those names).

well.. adium is doing the same thing. sometimes. any ideas why adium is pulling some buddy icons from address book, but leaving other buddy icons as their original?

They wouldn't be added to Adium, but if they do, it will show their picture.
