Get a email from a profile by riahc4 on 04-17-2005 at 06:04 PM
Is it possible from some program or some other way to get a person's email to add them to MSN Messenger from their profile? I know this use to be possible but MSN seems to have taken the feature away..

I doubt it, Microsoft have probably put that feature on to protect the feature from certain people, and prevention of possible paedofiles etc. as you can just do a search for younger people and would've been able to get the email address, therefore, putting those children at risk.

impossible. the weird characters in the link are a hash calculated dependant from time & date... which makes it impossible to decrypt, especially since it's a hash.

Yes but if you notice there is noone in the directory that can be allowed to put in their profile a age less than 18 so it should be possible.
Besides somehow someone must have figured out how it works when we right click on a contact and click View Profile and how it gets the email and goes to their profile....The reverse could then be easyly done...

no, because when you open a profile like that it just goes to http://members.msn.com/email@domain.com

Oh well.........the topic was worth it

I've always wondered if this is possible too. Its a bit weird really to be able to search for profiles but not add the actual person. Why even allow people to view strangers profiles then? its all a bit pointless if the address isnt there.
