I suggested this on the newsgroups just the other day and I got the response that many people want this. However, the developer team said it was "By-Design" and that they were not going to add it yet. I have no idea why this is considered "By-Design" thought because it has nothing to do with design, but with stability (in a way. since when youre added to many huge convos messenger can crash) and privacy. When you get added your email is imidiately shared with all the people in that conversation, without permisson.
Exactly! Plus it gets very annoying when someone keeps adding you into a group conversation over and over again when you leave, plus it doesn't tell you who added you in to begin with.
I know that a person by the name of psyko made a thing called Multi-User Convo Verify that runs in the background and makes a toaster prompting you what to do when someone invites you into a group conversation, but I don't think it works with Windows Live Messenger.

Ah good. Personally I found the direct connect method to be totally unreliable. Especially when one was behind a firewall or NAT.
