[PyICQ-t] custom away messages/status

Hi!

I'm using Psi as xmpp client (0.10, 0.11, -NG darcs checkout) and 
JabberD v.2 with a recent PyICQ-t version (post 0.7-a from 2006-03-09).

Using pyICQ-t for over a year now (and updating it every now and then to 
the most recent version) I really wonder whether it's my fault or 
whether pyICQ-t simply doesn't implement this functionality.

Should setting custom away messages work with pyICQ-t, so that other ICQ 
users (using Gaim, Trillian, ICQ 200x, etc.) can read this custom away 
message?
IIRC it works in Gaim, but never worked with Psi + pyICQ-t for me.

Is this a setup / configuration fault on my side or is it simply a lack 
of functionality or a bug of pyICQ-t?
I'd really like that functionality and if it's only a bug that prevents 
it from working although it did before please tell me.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Benjamin
