  I meant that I have gaim running, but not an IM contact for the person
I wish to send the file.

  Then forget the expander.  But the order of selection is truly
important.  You usually don't care much about the transfer method.  You
care about the person.  And sometimes you don't remember if for person X
how you can reach her.  The software should just know how to reach the
person, instead of me having to tell it (and remember it).
