Inversively; you can reshack msnmsgr.exe and make sure it displays the Idle status as Idle, instead of Away (MSN Messenger masks it as away), then you would know for sure that the people are away (idle), because one cannot set a status of idle; it goes on idle whenever you haven't touched your keyboard for x seconds.

Two 'problems' :
- When a contact is Away in a non-Idle way, he may still be AFK, but have set his status to Away; therefore, you can't be sure that Away means he's still on the pc (because it isn't Idle), you can only know that Idle means he's *really* away.
- Some plugins/MSN Messenger clones allow you to manually set yourself as Idle, thus if your contact manually set his status to Idle like this, you would think he's really away, while he just set himself as it, and could still be there. Luckily, this is a very uncommon/rare scenario, you almost needn't take this into account, and most often, you should be aware of the contact's ability to do this (almost no MSN Messenger user has this ability, as there simply are no plugins etc to do this).

That's as far as I can help you with this.
