Well, I've got the mail and here I am...
To say that I don't develop the program anymore is not completely true. The problem is a combination of available time and the internals of messenger (MSN messenger that is).
Windows messenger exposed itself very easily to any developer, hence the quick and dirty early versions. After many comments, this resulted in the currently available version but the big problem is that only Windows messenger is supported...
Unfortunately (that is an understatement), many users switched to MSN Messenger and the program didn't work anymore. I've tried the easy way like I did with the Windows version but that wouldn't work anymore since the events aren't there anymore. I've tried hooking the app but that made both applications unstable. The same applied when I tried version 5 and 6.
Having a few connections inside MS, I've tried to get more info or perhaps an SDK. That was a long way and eventually, that road was a dead end... They either don't respond or respond with 'if it's not on MSDN, it doesn't exist'. Further searches only revealed (lots of) information on 4.x but nothing on 5 or above...
I've been experimenting with the beta 7 to see if that would bring any differences but due lack of time from my side, I didn't look extensively yet. But, knowing MS, I don't have great hopes that the program will expose itself again. So, the debugger, spy-tools and more like those is all I have to find out what's happening and to see if I can hook into it.
If I can intercept the messages (or the events that Messenger gets), I can adopt TM very easily...
I'm open to suggestions
Regards,
Ferry
