Slightly Related: Re: [JDEV] Emoticons: guidelines

[Duncan Shannon]

This is related vaguely to emoticons.  It is also a client issue, but I
figured it was worth a post.

We are implementing jabber for our company, and some others and a
somewhat frequently requested feature has been a 'hot key' or quick
response capability.

When someone is busy, (perhaps on the phone) and gets a IM from someone
that needs a response (maybe line 4 is for you, or are you coming to the
meeting...) the person would like be-able to have some pre-programmed
responses that could be F-key functions, or key strokes, or perhaps from
a menu like some clients implement emoticons.

Responses could be along the line of:

* Yes/OK
* No
* Take A Message
* Ill Call Back
* COme In
* Hold / Wait
* Be right there
* Call Me


Any opinions or thoughts?
