+ tabbed SRMM plugin for Miranda IM 0.9.0
+ ----------------------------------------
+
+Online resources at: http://wiki.miranda.or.at, http://blog.miranda.or.at and

+
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+Version: 3.0
+Created: August 2009
+
+1. Overview
+-----------
+
+tabSRMM is an advanced messaging module for Miranda IM (version 0.9.x or later
+required). It adds many new options and features to make instant messaging more
+enjoyable and allows you to tweak almost every aspect of the message window to
+fit your needs.
+
+2. Some features:
+-----------------
+
+* "tabbed messaging". All message dialog windows are now opened within a "container"
+ window. A simple tab bar can be used to switch between the message windows.
+ Currently, there is only one container and no way to make one or more message
+ windows "top level". You can define as many container windows as you want and
+ assign your contacts to different containers. This allows you to organize your
+ chat sessions in many different ways.
+
+ If you dislike a tabbed interface for chatting, you can also configure a "single
+ window mode" in which each session is opened in a separate window.
+
+* Lots of options to tweak the look of your message log.
+
+* Works with the external IEView plugin to give you a fully customizable message log
+ using HTML templates and CSS.
+
+* Avatar support - both contacts and own avatars can be shown in the message dialog.
+
+* message templates for the message history in the chat window. You can freely define
+ how messages will look like by using a powerful system of variables and templates.
+
+* built-in event notification system can announce messages and other events by using
+ popups, system tray tooltips or On Screen Displa (announcing via poups or on screen
+ display requires additional plugins).
+
+* WYSIWYG text editing in the message input box. Formatted text can be parsed to
+ either BBCodes or simple */_ style formatting tags.
+
+* many features which make chatting more user friendly and easier. Some examples.
+
+ * auto-select-and-copy: Selecting text in the message log history will automatically
+ copy it to the clipboard. Holding down the ctrl key while selecting text will
+ insert the selection in the edit box immediatly.
+
+ * simplified mousewheel handling. No need to change the focus if you want to scroll
+ the history log. Just move the mouse pointer over it and use the wheel.
+
+ * Many hotkeys. Almost everything can be done without using the mouse.
+
+ * option to minimize chat windows to the tray so they won't clutter your taskbar.
+ A session list is available which can be used to access chat windows which have
+ been minimized to the system tray.
+
+* A "favorite contact" list which can be used to access favorite contacts quickly.
+ (Win 2000 or later).
+
+* Remembers the last 15 active sessions in a menu (Win 2000 or later).
+
+* System tray support.
+
+* integrated group chat module, based on chat.dll but merged into tabSRMM to give
+ users a unified user interface for both IM and group chats (i.e. IRC channels).
+
+3. FAQ and general help

+ links telling you more about tabSRMM in general.
+
+6. Credits and thanks:
+----------------------
+
+Lots of people provided useful suggestions, feature requests and bug reports during
+the development phase. I cannot name you all here, because it's just too many.
+
+* The Miranda-IM development team and all contributors for making the best
+ IM client on this planet (and probably in the entire universe :) )
+
+* sryo (teodalton@yahoo.com) for the minimal icons.
+
+* Faith Healer for making icon packs, lots of suggestions, testing and
+ feedback.
+
+* the members on my own forum (http://www.miranda.or.at/forums/) for a lot
+ of bug reports, feature suggestions and testing every new snapshot.
+
+* Angeli-Ka for many bug reports and general feedback, especially in the
+ early phase of development when using tabSRMM could be really frustrating :)
+
+ Also, for making the final icon set which is now distributed as default icon
+ pack.
+
+* Progame - for finding even the most carefully hidden bugs :)
+
+* All other members of the Miranda community, who helped with hunting down
+ sometimes hard to find, bugs, and for suggesting features.
+
+* "Mad Cluster" for the madmod patch which added a number of useful and often
+ requested new features to the plugin.
+
+* Joergen Persson for the original MUC ("multiuser chat") module for
+ Miranda IM. Large parts of tabSRMM's multiuser chat integration are based
+ on his code.
