Hi,


Yahoo app (both the PC version and the Mac Beta version) can do "Send As I type"


In iChat this applies as a setting only to the Bonjour account

(go to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts and highlight the Bonjour Option)

For some reason there is a cross over between this and the Yahoo account.

Untick the Send as I type Box.


You may find you have to get your Buddy to do this at their end so they are not sending parts of messages.

What gets sent normally gets longer but will depend on how fast they type.

Hi,


I have just been testing between the Yahoo for Mac Beta and the web IM Messenger that they do.


AS I typed in the web Version the message I was typing was displayed in the Beta Like iChat displays Ellipses for other Messages.

As I stopped typing it disappeared.


As soon as I hit enter the "Feature" appeared to stop and I could not get it back and it was replaced by "User is Typing at both end (depending which end was typing).


I cannot find any settings in the Yahoo for Mac Beta or the web browser version to change this.


I am wondering if there has been a new version of the PC version.
