meta contact question

[dkocolin]

What's the method used for determining what contact to initially send a message to within a meta contact?

I though it was based on whichever was first in the list and online, but that doesn't seem to be it.

I just don't get it, cause 99% of the time it seems to choose the offline name as the target.

The Adium Help says: "To chat with a combined contact, simply double click the contact's entry in your list as normal. When the chat opens, you will see a bar at the top of the message window which allows you to choose which name you want to message. Adium will automatically pick the name you messaged last; if this is still correct, simply send as normal and the bar will disappear after your first message."

The logic for picking which contact to send to is much improved in 1.3.

I've got a lot of meta contacts, mostly people who have one SN they use all the time and others they use sporadically. No matter how many times I initiate an IM with "screen name A", it will continue to give me "screen name B" as the default.

I imagine your are using 1.2.x?
