There  was this  really stupid  protocol change  (magic  filtering) in
messenger that  resulted in filtering  out all clients other  than the
official messenger  client from Yahoo!. However gaim  folks figured it
out and  gave a new release  (0.79) that worked  with Yahoo! Messenger
(all in less than 2 days!).
