RE: [Feature Request] Additional identifier
It can't be done. Plus! itself doesn't know (with 100% certainty) where the message is coming from.

It was possible back in the day where there was a MSN Object API. Now all Plus! can do is guess.

[QUOTE=Scripting Documentation]Because Messenger Plus! analyses messages received only when they reach the chat window, it is not possible to determine exactly from which contact the message came from. However, several methods can be used to guess if the message was actually sent by the current user. For example, to determine whether or not the personalized status messages should be sent when a message is received, Messenger Plus! compares the time of the last ChatWndSendMessage event with the current time. If it is less than 1 second, the message is considered to come from the current user and the preciously recorded time is reset. Even if this method of analysis can seem too simplistic, it works in almost every scenario as it is extremely rare to receive a message sent by a contact between the time the "Send" button was pressed and the time the message of the current user was added to the window (as Messenger does not wait to receive a reply from the server before adding the message to the history control).
