Status menu option suggestion

The ability to choose away status from the menu bar would be most useful. Also, it would be useful to have "connect all" type option that connected only to the accounts that where selected to connect upon launch. I have multilple IM accounts and have selected only a subset to connect on launch. After selecting "disconnect from all" in order to connect back to that original set, they must be selected individually. "Connect default" maybe?

On a similar note, perhaps some accounts could be created but not "included," similar to what Mail.app does. I have a few accounts I rarely use, but I have to connect my four main accounts individually because Connect All… will connect the ones I don't use. If there was a checkbox in each account for "Enable this account," it would allow the account in Connect All… and gray out an account that was not enabled. That would be spiffy!

Colin has been working on the Evil Menu Duck. I don't know what he's been changing, but expect many changes to appear in a future release.

This has also been requested and discussed before

The EMD seems promising so far, so let's see what the finishing product looks like…

I called it an Evil Menu Duck! (Why was it made this way?)
