Displaying a pop-up with the name of contact that signs in

How can I do this? I'm using Adium 0.84, and just using it for MSN Messenger. In the offical MSN program it was nice to see a message pop-up displaying the name of each contact that signs into MSN, but with Adium it doesn't do that. Sorry if this is a really dumb question, but I'd appreciate help. Thanks!

I'm using Mac OSX 10.3.9

I downloaded Growl and I set the prefrences in Adium to display a sticky notice in Growl, but still not message pops up when a contact signs in. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

Did you add Adium to the Growl applications menu?

How do I do that? There's no option, and dragging it in from the applications menu doesn't work >_>

hmm... make sure growl is running when you start adium... that did it automatically for me...

Go to your system prefs, click on Growl, click Applications tab, and make sure Adium is in that list.
