Bug Description
Binary package hint: empathy
AIM contacts added via Empathy don't work. The contact gets added, but they show up as off line. And if I try to send them a message anyway, the following comes up in the chat window:
(in gray): Error sending message '': unknown
(in chat bubble from user I'm trying to contact): Unable to send message: In local permit/deny
This has happened with both contacts I tried to add. One of them is my spouse. They are logged in to AIM, their account is set to allow messages from anyone.
summary: |
- contacts added show as offline & Unable to send message: In local + AIM contacts added show as offline & Unable to send message: In local permit/deny |

Oh, yeah... As a test, I created a jabber account for both of us, added them as a contact and was able to chat with them just fine.
Also, in Empathy on my present computer, I have no problem seeing/chatting with AIM contacts I created years ago on another computer.
So the issue is with the AIM contact creation interface, or something along those lines.
