Thank you very much!

I have been struggling with mc-tool for about 20 minutes (I even tried
to read the code of mc-tool.c on the gitweb). What do you do to add a
gtalk account? I am stuck with:

mc-tool add gabble/jabber myuser at gmail.com string:password=mypassword

Whatever I do, I always end with the same error
mc-tool: The supplied CM parameters were not valid
(which is apparently not a message from mc-tool.c)
