i didnt come up with the idea well ive thought about it lots of times, and ive seen it in trillian. but Energizer started this thread and thought of the idea here, ive just worked it all out, cause i think this feature really should be added to Messenger Plus! i dont know why patchou hasnt said anything here maybe he just hasnt noticed the thread, hehe

tom - you have the wrong idea of floating contacts, cause what you're saying is just like intergrating the whole contact list to your desktop, and that's not what the feature was made for, it's just to be able to see a few "special" contacts that are more important to you than others, without having to open the contact list to check all the time. so this message feature shouldnt only be in the flaoting contacts but also in the normal contact list, if you think that you'll miss a flashing icon plus the contact name in bold, then you must not be able to see well

i think Patchou should have a look at ICQ and check out the "messages left in contact list" feature, and then hopefully intergrate the same or something similar into msn plus! (and read this whole thread to see what options there could be for it)
