How should I add Google Talk users as contacts in Adium?
In Adium, I have a non-Google XMPP account.
If I want to add an XMPP Contact that is @gmail.com, do I add them as an "XMPP" contact or a "GTalk" contact? It gives both options.

How do I disable notifications in Adium?
I feel a bit dumb asking this, but I've scoured the preferences and can't find any option about how to disable the built-in notifications (ie, not growl) which are shown when a contact comes online.

Copy From Adium: How to Not Get the Timestamps?
When I do a command-c with Adium, it picks up the timestamps as well as the text I want. I've looked through the prefs with no luck. How can I just get the text? (I know I can use Textmate and then option-drag, but that's annoying.)
