Description Vangelis 2012-06-25 14:56:22 UTC 
Some of my contacts are using more than one instant messaging services like me. Some others use only one, but I do not really remember which one.
When any of them contact me, I don't know how have they reached me (using google? using MSN? using another xmpp private server?).

This is important to know as some services might be used for different purpose, offering more or less functionality.
A private xmpp server for example might be used for a company, so the chat style must be more formal.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Show which service is being used for the contact in the active chat window.
Maybe some more information by clicking on a "More details for this contact" button.

The 0.4 release features custom toolbar icon, which you can add (right click on the toolbar in text-ui -> Configure toolbars and add 'Account Icon'. I agree we can improve this however ;)

This needs documenting on Userbase. Once that's done this bug can be closed.
