I thought the messenger client won't retrieve the contacts' display pictures when one is appearing offline.
And isn't appearing offline kinda similar to blocking someone?
If one appears offline, MSN protocol should not be sending any kind of notifications, including display pictures.
To check this: appear offline, and then open a convo window of a contact whose DP has not been shown on your computer. Messenger should not be showing the DP
Edit: Another thing: isn't it a breach of privacy?
I mean, I must have a reason appearing offline; no one should know and need to know that I'm appearing offline.
