- Messenger is launched. Plus is loaded for the first time.
- Plus assumes that no user in the contact list has Plus.
- You try to IM someone in the contact list.
- Plus detects the message and secretly add [Alt+160] character at the end of the message. It will look completely normal.
- If the other user doesn't have Plus installed, he or she will still be able to read the message and reply back completely normally.
- If the other user has Plus installed, it should be able to detect the [Alt+160] character at the end of the message.
- As soon as the other user reply back, his or her Plus secretly adds [Alt+160][Alt+160] character at the end of the message.
- You will be able to read his or her message normally, but in the background Plus tries to check if there are 160 codes at the end of the message...
- Plus found them and marks that user with [Plus] mark.
