    AOL's IM seems to do that too. If you paste a link (or something else underlined) then whatever you type is still underlined, unless you select it and un-underline it.

    Apparently it connects to some wiki and underlines all the words found in that wiki. No worries though, I killed it off and installed Miranda.

      Ugh, why would you do that? I mean, why not go all the way and use a dictionary :mad:. Apparently it connects to some dictionary and underlines all the words found in that dictionary.

        Actually it connects to the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy. Try typing in "Earth" and it suggests "Mostly Harmless". mmmm

            Alright - I was finally dragged into this IM crap because I have to communicate with a programmer in Seattle. How do I get Trillian to stop underlining words? (I hate this IM stuff.)

            Give Pidgin[^] a try. It's pretty bare bones, but handles everything I've ever needed from IM (i.e. closes rather quickly :) ).

                Have you tried the Psychic Mode plugin? It's fun to freak people out, til they figure it out anyway.

                  That's probably it's wikipedia lookup feature Trillian Preferences -> Message Windows -> (Uncheck) "Underline words with encyclopedia entries in green"

                      Pay more attention to spelling, maybe? When I used it, it had a really tiny dictionary, but you could add to it.

                        No more than having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a very large gold brick.

                        Imagine that you are hired to build a bridge over a river. The river gets slightly wider every day; sometimes it shrinks but nobody can predict when. Your contract says you can't use concrete or steel - the client only provides timber and cut stone (but won't tell you what kind). Gravity changes from hour to hour, as does the viscosity of air. Your only tools are a hacksaw, a chainsaw, a rubber mallet, and a length of rope. Welcome to my world. -Me explaining my job to an engineer
