A lot of end users are challenged by having to load more than one client for mail and another for instant messaging, and only load the Notes client.  So their interface to Sametime is from within the Notes client.  Which doesn't allow them to access all the functionality (at least in 7) that they have in the Connect client.  Would it be possible to expand the functionality of this interface to more closely match that of the Sametime Connect client?  Or add a feature in the Instant Messaging settings in user preferences to allow them to pick Sametime Connect client as their preferred interface so that it loads automatically and logs in with SSO as does the Notes client interface to Sametime? If design objects for Sametime Connect were included in the mail template, this would might also assist with deployment and updating of the Connect client in large environments.
