However, Patchou is not willing to do this for some reasons I can't seem to understand
He doesn't want to use the MSN protocol as this can be the cause for more problems and even people blaming Messenger Plus! for *beeping* up their connection and what not...
He also doesn't want Messenger Plus! to connect to the other user directly (P2P) either for the same reasons
(and I totaly understand this and agree with him)
As for the feature: the only benefit will be that you don't have to type /ping (or the likes) manually. In Plus! there are no features which explicitly depend on such a thing.
The ideas of auto-checking if the user can recieve custom sounds or custom names or something are nice, but not mandatory and not practical because such a auto-check feature could always be disabled by the other user (for privacy reasons), making the "benefit" of auto-detecing features which can be used, rather useless. Making the whole auto-detect-plus-version useless...
