Autoaway could have an option to set automatically the status message to "Away since 00:00:00 UTC" or something similar
There is a patch on RB that does this. It just needs finishing
Git commit bcf4aa49f1248c69f112e5751e1397fc1e2367cf by David Edmundson, on behalf of Lucas Betschart. Committed on 13/07/2013 at 12:20. Pushed by davidedmundson into branch 'master'. %time Variable to get the current UTC time in the away message To make this option visible I've changed the tool tip (I think the first thing a user would do if he wants no away message is to remove the message text [if there is one, which isn't by default], so this double information can be replaced). Adding an extra widget for drag n drop like in now playing would be too much for this I think. It would blow up the UI if I add this under every lineedit (as more stuff is visible on the first sight for the user as more complicated it looks) and it would be confusing if I add it only once in a central place, so I decided to just inform the user through a tool tip (it's also not a important feature, so it's ok if it's a little bit hidden).
