Has anyone tried this addon?
http://www.msgdiscovery.com/
Is it good? I'm specially interested in the "Detect contacts closing/opening
conversations" feature...
And...can it be installed together with Plus! and A-Patch?
Thanks.

it works only with msn 6.2

you can get the openconvo notifier from here:

and follow these directions when installing it:

i am not sure, but from what i have tried in msn 6.2 plus! and msgdiscovery are compatible.

Edit: from the official msgdiscovery website

"The long wait is over and it seems that microsoft has amazed us all with its early release of the much anticipated MSN Messenger 7.0 (7.0.0777). This means that there will be release of msgdiscovery v3 very soon for the final version of MSN Messenger 7.0. So keep your eyes open"

this one will be compatible with msn 7 if that is what you  are looking for.

The detect contacts closing/opening feature is unreliable due to a protocol change. It is a limitation and none of these programs will be accurate anymore

Yes it can be installed together with Plus and A-Patch!

it is still "fairly" reliable... it does give a few false notifications, but also ALWAYS notifies you when somebody opens your convo window. it is a matter of patience telling them apart i use the openconvo plugin and it's ok

but chestah's right though, it is not as reliable as it used to be
