Great idea - I kept thinking "14 RECENT" was keyword "RECENT".. but evidently
not..

  imclient_addcallback(imp, "",     /* keyword */
              NULL,                 /* flags   */
              callback_all,         /* proc    */
              NULL,                 /* rock    */
              NULL);

did the trick. Incidentally, I didn't receive the messages if I set the
CALLBACK_NOLITERAL flag. What does it do? (I thought it meant don't use
eg. {42} followed by 42 characters, but in eg. 14 RECENT, no literal is used,
yet I didn't see those messages either)

Cheers,
