O.P. Huh?  encrypting messages
Hi,

I would like to suggest that the developers, of Messenger Plus! Live, add support to encrypt messages while chating.

This is a very important feature that lacks on Live Messenger, and Skype already have this.

So, please tell me if this will be possible in the future.

Best Regards

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Messenger Plus! Live do this (preferences --> messenger --> log encryption) or are you looking for something else?

Sorry for the misunderstanding but I have never used the likes of Skype.  This does sound interesting but I don't think it would be too likely that your information you are sending in WLM would be read by any 3rd parties, but that's just my thoughts.

Everything that you talk with Live Messenger can be viewed, since they are send as text, so any sniffer can see...

The same goes with files shared and calls...

ICQ also have this great feature.

Security and privacy are always important and interesting... ;)

RE: encrypting messages
You could use the securePLUS scripts. But that would require both sides to have that script installed, which is quite annoying if you want a secure talk to everyone.

This is more something that Microsoft itself should implement as a well-done feature. you can always suggest it to them in the feedback form.
Finish the problem
