That's not what he is asking for.
He asks for a plugin/addon which will set your status to idle while you're online... (not for a plugin to show the idle status of other people)
MessengerDiscoveryX has that "feature". But as
chance said, that addon bulks over with many options and features and even sometimes doesn't work at all or conflicts with other stuff.
To manually set your status to "idle" (which will always be shown as "away" in unpatched Messengers), you need to alter/adapt the communication between the Messenger client and the Messenger servers, in other words you need to use the protocol. In other words, this can't be done by simply patching Messenger.

Search the forums, this is explained many times in detail before (long before A-patch even existed). But then again, as said, this is not what he is asking for.

Matty's reply to Is it possible to tell the real status of the contact??"

difference between away and idle"
