Is there any way to soup up msn or msg plus to accept HTML coding?

quick anwser: no

Allowing HTML in MSN will allow people to hack and do really dodgy stuff.

HTML is not an option in Msn Messenger, and Msg Plus does not offer it either.  HTML in Msn Hotmail email is allowed though.

Depends what you mean by "souping it up".

You can add sounds, colour etc with msgplus. Or if you mean the actual program then you can have skins :S

it allows xml :D

have a ganger at reshacker and the uifiles :)

It allows XML, but only in certain forms i.e. specifying the UI layout (hence all the UIFILE resources being XML).

MenthiX, you say HTML would allow 'script-kiddies' to hack Messenger? I assume that would only happen if JavaScript/VBScript in HTML was executed... and you can stop that happening I'd imagine.

Anyway, I can't see any real use for HTML in Messenger, so it's a bit of an academic topic really.

you can have the tabs in hmtl but how do u plan on souping up a program using web script?

RE: HTML in msn by levit0n on 02-19-2005 at 10:01 PM

Thnaks guys (and maybe gals) for your help... By "souping up" I meant anything that is possible to do to mess with msn, including editing the resigistry. I know it would be bacicaly useless, but I would find it sometimes handy.

How about replacing the ctrl+b/u/i squares with <b></b> etc?
That would be cool :P

u could make msgplus word filters for that

example: filter <b> for the bold character, <i> for the italic filter etc.
RE: HTML in msn by crank on 02-20-2005 at 03:26 PM

Using a word filter you could add a lot of things to make some html-tags work. But a plugin/addon woudl also allow more advanced stuff with parameters and stuff...

RE: HTML in msn by levit0n on 02-20-2005 at 06:21 PM

Bold, Italic, and Underline isn't enough. (for me anyway)

Nope, tried it, ask Millenium...

Then maybe as a plugin?
