- by Chervov Dmitry aka Deathdemon

-You can always find the latest plugin version here: http://deathdemon.int.ru/projects.php
-If you have some questions, you'll find answers on most of them on the Miranda forums: http://forums.miranda-im.org/showthread.php?t=2179

-New Away System requires at least Miranda v0.6 to work properly. v0.7 or above is recommended.
-If you use an older Miranda core, either update it or use New Away System v0.3.7.8, which is available here:
-http://deathdemon.int.ru/projects/archive/NewAwaySysW_build2371.zip (Unicode; Windows XP/2000/NT)

-Overview
-========
-
-New Away System is a successor to AwaySysMod plugin by XF007 and Tornado.
-It allows to set your status messages using dynamic variables and do some interesting tricks, like different message each time someone requests it, or different status message depending on a time of the day, and much more...
-
-If you're confused by all these variables, it's not a problem :) NAS can also be used in a usual way, by entering usual text as a status message. the only thing you really need to remember is that if your message gets parsed incorrectly (and this happens in some rare cases, when you accidentally use some special characters in the message, like # character), try enclosing that part of your message in `quotes` (note, it's `, not ' !)
-
-Main features:
-- categorized predefined status messages (a message tree is used to store them)
-- autoreply
-- per-protocol status messages, and (ICQ only) per-contact status messages
-- optional notification through a popup that someone read your status message (works only for ICQ, as it's the only protocol that stores status messages on the client side)
-- logging ICQ status message requests to a file (requires LogService plugin)
-- optional updating of your status messages on non-ICQ protocols every X seconds
-- multiple ICQ accounts support
-
-Known issues:
-- currently there is no way to show UINs of contacts that are not on the contact list and requesting a status message - it requires some changes to Variables plugin
-- there's still no proper unicode status message support in protocol plugins, so even with unicode NAS version much depends on protocol itself
-
-To use dynamic variables in NAS, you need to install Variables plugin by Unregistered: http://www.pboon.nl/projects.htm (highly recommended, as without Variables NAS will have a limited functionality).
-To log ICQ status message requests to a file, you need LogService plugin: http://deathdemon.int.ru/projects.php
-
-some useful variables:
-?cinfo(%subject%,display) - nick of the contact who is reading your status message
-?cinfo(%subject%,first) - first name of the contact
-?cinfo(%subject%,last) - last name of the contact
-(for detailed description of other possible values, see the Variables help dialog and readme)
-
-A brief description of the plugin options, just to make things more clear:
-Default messages are used by default for each status, unless you set "by default... use the message from last time" in the miranda options -> Status -> Away System -> Main options tab.
-Each status can have one and only one default message. that's why it's not possible to 'uncheck' "use this message as default for.." buttons, once they were checked. - just select another message in the tree and set it as default.
-You can set any predefined message to be default for certain statuses.
-Also you can add/delete/modify/move your messages/categories in the "Predefined messages" category of the message tree.
-Most recent status messages are placed in the "Recent messages" category; it's not recommended to put your messages manually there, as they'll be replaced by your recent messages. However this category is editable too, just like "predefined messages" is.

-FAQ
-===
-
-Q: when I click on the blue question mark button, nothing happens
-A: make sure you have the latest build of Variables plugin installed
-
-Q: all variables remain unparsed and other contacts read my status message, for example, as "Gone since %nas_awaysince_time%" instead of "Gone since 11:45"
-A: Either a) see the previous answer Or b) you checked the "Disable parsing of status messages by Variables plugin" checkbox in the settings menu (one of the buttons on the bottom of the status message change dialog)
-
-Q: NAS uses a wrong status message when miranda sets idle status automatically after several minutes of inactivity
-A: it's a known incompatibility with the built-in autoaway module and it's impossible to solve it in a reasonable way without changes to the miranda core. you can use AdvancedAutoAway plugin if you really need a correct status message with autoaway
-
-Q: NAS uses a wrong status message even when I set it manually
-A: You cannot ever trust contact list's status bar tooltips that show your own status message (though in many cases they still show it correctly). The only way to make sure that your status message is correct is to ask your friend to read it.
-
-Q: what about xstatus support?
-A: it's planned
-
-Q: why does NAS show ?cinfo variables unparsed ("?cinfo(%subject%,display)", "?cinfo(%subject%,id)" etc.) when the contact is not on the contact list?
-A: it requires changes to Variables plugin to allow NAS to override the default behavior of ?cinfo variable. currently there's no any solution of this issue
-
-Q: I can't read or set a status message in unicode
-A: there's still no proper support of unicode status messages by protocol plugins. So, currently even the unicode build of NAS is unable to show unicode status messages of your contacts. I'll fix it as soon as protocol plugins allow me to do that.
-
-Q: I updated NAS and an autoreply doesn't contain my status message now. with an old version it appended the status message at the end.
-A: check that %extratext% is present at the end of Autoreply format (options ->Status->Away System->Autoreply tab). If it's not there, just add it at the end. for example, the default format is:
-Miranda IM autoreply >
-%extratext%
