There really isn't the concept of an account name in miranda...I can get the
protocol name, or the protocol unique identifier (e.g. UIN) which may not be
human readable...or, which is about the closest thing, the name of the
user's database file - but that is often 'default' or something like that.

I guess what I'm suggesting is that the library do some processing of the
query message even when the policy is 'never'.

Sorry, I mean't the username is passed into the 'receieve' function, on the
receiver side - i misunderstood your last post regarding that.
