Groupmsg listing issue

Description

I use the groupmsg plugin as a replacement for announcements in Sametime. It works for smaller groups but when I try to send a message to the entire department, the list of names is too long to fit on the screen. I am unable to get to the box to compose and send the message. Is it possible to make the list of recipients a scrolling box with a fixed size so you can access the send message button and compose box?

Thanks in advance!

If we did that, then we would have to limit the plugin to being Pidgin-only. Currently it works with any libpurple client allowing plugins to load.

I thought it was in the pidgin plugins pack? I can't see that others wouldn't be interested in this functionality. The plugin is practically useless for a decent-sized group. Would you point me in the proper direction so I can make the necessary changes?

Thanks

No, the plugin is in the Purple Plugin Pack. If you want to implement it, look in groupmsg/groupmsg.c.

I changed:

tmp = g_strdup_printf(_("Your message will be sent to these buddies:\n%s"), tmp2);

To:

tmp = g_strdup_printf(_("Your message will be sent to this group:\n%s"), group->name);

To get rid of the same problem.
