Message types
In instant messaging, a distinction is made between the following types of message:
u Buddy messages are the "instant messages" you receive from your buddies. You can
answer the messages.
u Info messages are special information from the provider. They are forwarded to you,
but you cannot reply to them.
Example: With some messaging providers you receive an info message when another
subscriber tries to add you to their buddy list. You are prompted to check the messages
on the messenger client on your PC.
Via the messenger client on your PC you can agree to the action or refuse permission.
Without your agreement, the other subscriber cannot add you to their buddy list.
