You could use the netstat -o argument to determine which connections are from Messenger, then use some kind of logic to rule out the standard connections (probably ignore *.msn.com and *.hotmail.com). You'd be left with connections to contacts. Their IPs could be parsed, then returned without the user ever leaving the conversation window or looking at an ugly command prompt.
the idea is good, however it's a bit complicated code and even more if you can use netstat
(or TCPView).
Apart of that there will be problems when you're sending files to 2 or more different contacts (what IP is from each one?), or when you're sending files through the server, or if you're sending a file to someone whose IP is from @hotmail.com or @msn.com
