Set custom auto-away messages and timeout in iChat
Authored by: marcel69 on Mar 08, '06 01:29:26AM

BTW: did anyone figure out how to get iChat automatically connected online, when starting your machine / logging into your user account on the machine?
It is quite annoying, that one always has to get into the menu bar first to set the iChat status to "online" manually. If I want to chat with some of my collegues that are not using iChat regularly I always have to give them a phone call or write an eMail to get them activating their iChat online-status...

Set custom auto-away messages and timeout in iChat

This option should be under Accounts => Account Information... Make sure the check box, 'When iChat opens, automatically log on' is checked. Then add iChat as a login item. Works for me and I've been doing this ever since.
