Why, after all these years, does Trillian still not support hyperlinks in away messages?

[beer]

I used Trillian like three years ago.
I stopped because, in part, if someone put a hyperlink in their away message (AIM), Trillian couldn't recognize the link.
I downloaded it again last week. After three years, same thing.

What gives?

Security/virus reasons maybe?
