Noote that those 5 charachtes shouldn't be used to send information but to make a diference between several plugins installed. If you encode cards in the 5 characters you'll have 2 problems:
- When, inside ReceiveNotify, you receive a certain 5-letter code, how would you know if that code is one of yours or if it belongs to another plugin?
- When using those codes, you may use (wthout you noticing it) a code that is used by another plugin and that plugin, in its ReceiveNotify, recognices the code and does something (while it shouldn't do that) and your plugins isn't notified because there have already been another plugin who accepted the code

well, after saying that, you'll see that there's no way of sending hidden info. You can try the 5 chars codes, but bear in mind what i've just said. Other ways of doing that are:
- Opening a socket in both computers and sending the info throught that socket. However this method isn't problem-free either, because the computers may be behind a router/nat, they may have a firewall, etc... and it's a lot of more work too
- Waiting until the Messenger Plus API allows that the received text in REceiveNotify can be edited before it's displayed. That would be a great improvment in the plus api and it has been suggested since plus supports plugins, however it isn't still added. Patcou said (i think) that he'll add it in the next version of the api, however i'm not very sure if he'll do it
