ChipperChat
With the 3.3.5 patch, there were several features added to the default UI for the chat frames.

Features: Hide chat buttons (jump to bottom button moved to lower-right corner, only shows when you are scrolled up); Move edit box to the top of the chat frame; [optional] New editbox textures; Move chat frames to edges of screen; Channel abbreviations; Increased chat history.

SpamThrottle
Filters the trade channel and /yells so that any individual message is only displayed ONCE every XX seconds, where XX is a user-settable number with a default of 600 seconds (10 minutes).

TradeFilter
TradeFilter does not only filter trade but has the ability to filter General, LookingforGroup, Say and Yell channels all which are configurable through the blizzard options panel.

This allows the user to define what patterns may be good for trade but not other channels and vise versa. The user also has the ability to add patterns of their own to be matched against for both trade and "base" channel filters.

GuildMains
This addon shows you the name of the main character when one of your guildmates chats using a known alt. This is done by scanning the guild roster, looking for the name of a main in the player note of an alt. Many guilds already do this just as a matter of record keeping, so this addon works right out of the box. The names show up in parenthesis after their alts name like this:
[Bravehearth (Pitchifus)] whispers: Hey, is the download ready yet?
Curse
Hush
Mutes General and LocalDefense channels while inside instances.
Curse, WoWInterface
Identity
Identity does the following:
1. Main name in Guild and Officer chat 2. Main Name in Channels 1 - 10 and BGs 3. Nicknames in Party and Raids 4. Your Zone Location in Channels 5. It saves the name per realm and per character, so you can have different nicknames and different mains for different realms or factions. If your main character is a 60 Warrior named Tank and you are working on a new toon (level 10 Priest) called Healer, and both are in the same guild this addon would do the following:
Guild: [Healer]: (Tank): How is everyone doing today? Officer: [Healer]: (Tank): How is everyone doing today?
