Use LaTeX equations in Adium (IM client)

I just discovered that Adium can display LaTeX! That's certainly useful for students, mathematicians, scientists, etc. For this to work, in addition to pdflatex (part of TeXLive-teTeX), you need to run Equation Service. Adium sends the text to that utility, which runs pdflatex on it and returns the resulting PDF to the caller. Everything nicely and transparently chained behind the scenes. I took a screenshot of some trials.
