How To See Away Status Gmail Chat Buddies In Messages?

Hi, I'm only seeing buddies shown from my google talk account who are online, the away ones don't show up. Is there a way to change this? Thanks 🙂

Hi,


Off lines ones don't show if the setting for Off line Buddies is Off (Unticked ) in the View menu (when a Buddy List is "Front".


To be clear:-

Green is Available (On Line and ready)

Amber is Idle (they have not touched their keyboard or mouse for at least 10 minutes)

Red is Away.


Away and Idle is not shown in iChat or Messages but AIM Buddies will state the time if you mouse over them


Off line is a greyed out Buddy and pic.
