Well, first, not to put down your software, but these things are annoying as fuck. Its a good idea, and could be popular, but im sure alot of people would rather not have giant things running across their screen, hence messpatch and removing winks/nudges
Second, why not just send some line thats not in the format of a message to the contact when sending one of these things? that way the client wont even pick it up if they don't have it installed.
