Re: [orca-list] pidgin and telegram

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

Hello Dave,

the buddy list includes the contacts registered in your Telegram account.

So you need to first add at least one contact using the Telegram app in your smartphone or the Telegram 
desktop app.

Then this contact will show in the Buddy list and you can chat with him or her.

There is an  Add contact... menu entry in the Buddy List of Pidgin that you can access pressing Ctrl+B, but 
it didn't work for me

Best regards,

Didier

PS You are now in my Buddy List using this method. <smile>
