For the people with lots of Adium crashes, if you could pm me the IM name or email you used when submitting a crash report, I could have a look.

Yeah, I don't get crashes from Adium at all anymore. Weird. I messed with Jabber again today. It does MSN just fine. But sucks at Yahoo. And I have a lot of friends and co-wo…
