RE: Connect Directly Option, Does It Reveal IP?
The thing that is introduced in Messenger 7 is something like DCC (you know the thing which you can also do with mIRC). It's indeed a direct connection to your contact. And it will indeed reveal the IP of the contact (without sending a file fist or something like those netstat tricks). I've not yet looked up more info about it though, but iirc the option doesn't work yet and the security issue is also a concearn of other people in the messenger community.

So, like said, I've read quickly somewhere about this option, can't remember where though. Maybe it was msnfanatic or something.
