User's Comment
Well, I chose Freehoo as my favorite messenger client for the console, because it has a fantastic readline interface, the tab completion is context sensitive, and because of the great extensions. Through the latter Freehoo provides the excellent capability to act however you want. -- Kai Ruemmler
