^^^That's what I figured, Pragma and thanks for the info. I did happen to come across a post on another message board which led me to:

Apparently Miranda is a client similiar to Trillian. It has a plugin that you can download which enables you to see who's reading your away messages. Well long-story-short, I downloaded, installed and could not get it to work. I was kinda in a rush though but maybe when I have time I'll sit down and try to figure it out. Just thought I would pass the info on incase anyone was intrested.
