            <p>Utilities are a simple way to extend the functionality of Licq. A utility is simply a short text file (see the <a href="UTILITIES.HOWTO">UTILITIES.HOWTO</a>) which defines an external program to run, and what variables to pass it. The utility can be run for any user, so for example the Pine utility will start up a terminal running pine and open a new message with the email address of the particular user in the "To:" field.</p>

            <p>Installing a utility is simple. Simply copy the .utility file into {licq prefix}/share/licq/utilities and restart licq.</p>

            <p>A number of utilities are available for Licq at the current time (new submissions are welcome):</p>
