Mr. Message for OS/2 is an instant messenger client which is capable
of communicating over AOL's Instant Messenger network using the OSCAR
protocol (used in the Win32 AIM clients, jBuddy, gAIM, Kopete, ICQ,
and a variety of other clients).

It has been updated with the following changes:

* Added the ability to send and receive typing notifications.  Now you
  have the option to notify your buddies when you are actively typing
  in an IM window, and any typing notifications sent by your buddies
  will be indicated with a pen or paper icon in your buddy list window.
  The pen indicates that they are actively typing.  The paper indicates
  that they have some text typed, but are not currently typing.
* Added the ability to display user-defined status messages.  Some
  clients seem to use this field for their user profile.
* Changed the filter icons to make their meaning more clear when the
  filters are turned on.  Also added flyover help for them.
* Prevented the user from adding the same screen name to the buddy list
  more than once.
* Fixed to accept buddy lists that are split into multiple parts by
  the AOL server.  If you were missing buddy list entries before, this
  should not be the case anymore.
* Fixed the case where an AOL error message causes Mr. Message to stop
  acknowledging messages from the AIM server for the rest of the session.
* Fixed the replacement of " & < and > at the end of a
  profile or away message.
* Fixed the profile/away message selection window to select the entry
  that was just added or modified.
* Fixed loading of buddy list icons multiple times.
* Fixed debug error messages resulting from a user logging off.
