Send images without displaying them in iChat Apps
I was searching for a way to send picture files to a buddy without having those images display in the iChat window. A friend in Apple's discussion forums pointed me to the right direction:

...throw your files into the "name box" on your Buddy List, not in the chat window...

So just drag your file to their name in the buddy list, instead of the open chat text entry area, and you're good!

[robg adds: I've been sending files this way for quite a while (sometimes it's the only way with a non-iChat buddy on the other end), and assumed we had published something along these lines ... but a search shows that we haven't...]

yeah, i've been doing it like this for ages. i hate that "you have left the chat" thing it does after a while, and whatever it used to say in old versions. makes you seem a bit arrogant! i wish they'd change that.
