Hi, I recently got a Mac and I was disappointed to find that there was no Msg Plus option for the WLM on it. I read that you will not be making one so I am trying to get one feature and one feature only to try and make my MSN life easier.

Coded screenames.

I have hundreds of contacts who have coloured screenames and it just comes up in codes on my msn ([c=18][c=12]c=13]) etc. Is there anyway I can get round this, besides nicknaming all my contacts? Thanks!

P.S - This may be in the wrong place, apologies if it is.

You can try using Adium and this addon for it -- I haven't tried it myself, but it seems to be intended exactly for solving this problem.

I am not aware of anything you can do for the Microsoft client on a Mac -- other than running the Windows one and MsgPlus! under Parallels or VMware Fusion, which is probably more trouble than I'd go through for an instant messaging client myself.

Thanks, just what i was looking for!
