sorry if you have already answered this in the announcement thread but thats now closed so couldn't ask you in that. i am interested to know exactly how tabbed convos works exactly at a basic level. for example i host tournaments on the internet which i advertise on msn messenger now where-ever possible i try to bring all my contacts into one convo who are playing in the tourney but after you exceed about 6 msn don't like it and it starts kicking people out. so i often have to have 2 or 3 convos running with several contacts in each that makes it harder to keep track of. so i was wondering obviously when you open a new convo it is held ij an initial tab but when i go to someone else on my contact list can i right click and go open in new tab so it opens up a convo with them but in the new tab of the existing convo? also if so then what hapens when i have multiple convos open how does it know which convo to open the new tab in etc maybe it asks you to select which convo from a list or simething?

also lets say i have several tabs open in one convo now if you minimise convos when someone sends you a message they flash orange do the tabs dothe same and if not how do you know when someone rom one of the other tabs is talking? also how about a plus preferences option that could be for examle "open new tab on double click" i dont know what you would call it but basically instead of defaultly opening a new convo when double clicking a contact from contact list if this option was ticked it would defaultly add them as a new tab to the active convo. also what if you want to send a private message to a contact who your talking to from a group tab. can you right click them and select open in new tab rather than having to go back to contact list to do it.

these are just a few ideas i have thought of i will probably come up with more but it would be nice to know exactly how it is all supposed to work in the initial release and what will be added afterwards.
