Make 'E-Mail' consistent here. This string is already used in Jabber, so I'm effectively removing a string, which I've been told doesn't break freeze.

| 27 | * buddy list {{{ | |
| 28 | * we have not committed any gobjectification, so this is not a blocker for 2.0.0 until we do. | |
| 29 | * if we do, it is only a blocker to the extent that gaim needs to run. That is, we do not | |
| 30 | *necessarily* have to gobjectifiy everything as long as we preserve functionality. | |
| 31 | * That being said, my understanding of the signals mess says that it is probly more work to | |
| 32 | try to do this in stages than to start it or not start it. | |
| 33 | * This would require some sort of signal aggregation, as gobject signals are unique to the instance. | |
| 34 | * one way to do this would be to emit the signals from a non-descript buddy object. this would | |
| 35 | most closely mimic the current functionality | |
| 36 | * a second way would be to actually try to aggregate them in some way. I really don't know how | |
| 37 | possible this is, but it would allow us to do things like set a pounce on everyone in a group | |
| 38 | or define sounds on a per-group basis. | |

| 62 | some protocols. | |

| 64 | that each protocol define certain capabilities & defaults, with accounts.xml holding exceptions | |
