There is no way for Patchou to retrieve that information, afaik. If MSN Messenger does not use this, then it won't be available for anyone (not a plugin, MsgPlus! or anything).

The only way this could work is if MSN Messenger itself did this, so this suggestion would be for Microsoft and not MsgPlus!

And, personally, I don't think there is any use for this. You could just color their names or something like that.

I know i can change the colours, i already do that... i was just seeing if this option is possible. From what i am reading, its not. oh well no biggi

ty 4 the help ppls

i personally see it as an invasion of privacy, if some random adds you and uses it they instantly aquire your perspnal information, espcially since microsoft promised us that they would not give out our personal information to anybody

I mean the user writes whether the other person is a guy or a chik so others who add u will just say his/her on their screen

hhmmm, still, i thought plus! and microsoft didnt associate, (im probably wrong)

No you are NOT wrong. Plus! and Patchou himself has nothing to do with Microsoft except that he is a VMP like I am.

Wtf, your sex is not "personal information"

Anyway, your MSN profile (which includes your sex) is viewable to anyone, even if they don't add you, so if you have filled that everybody can see some info.

Plus, not many people will take the time to classify every contact's sex.

I can just see it now..."Reid...guy.....girl......guy....AGGGGHHHHH!!!!"

Anyways, this would be useless. The only way this would be plausible is if Microsoft added a gender specific option in the .net passport configuration to define gender in convo.s.

1) it's more pointless than anything
2) it would require everyone to set up an msn profile
3) downloading the msn profile of every offline contact at sign in is a BIG waste of bandwidth..

end of story?
