If you knew that then there is not much sense into suggesting this to be included in Messpatch or A-patch as a patch or as a loader (a loader is mostly a patch too)... Patches can not do this.

which you shouldn't create another thread for it... the thread is reported.

I think you don't understand what a loader or a patch is though...

What is a "patch"?
A patch is actualy a replacement of code. Most patches come in the shape of a seperate program that you have to run only once and this will alter the code of the target program permanently. For example, you can often download fixes from Microsoft to fix some bugs in their software. These are "patches". In similar way, you can download some patches for MSN Messenger like "remove-ad", "enable polygamy", "remove: user has typed message", etc... (but these are all illegal, by the way)

All this kind of patches are called also "HARD"-patches, because they alter the code permanently.

What is a "loader"?
Then there is a different kind of patch, called "SOFT"-patches or "Loaders". These do exact the same, only they don't patch a program's code in the actual programfile on disk. But they patch the code in memory when the program is already loaded. This means that no harm is done to the actual file on your disk. You still have the original file. The MSNLoader from Jnrz is such a "SOFT"-patch.
and also see CookieRevised's reply to 'Help with understanding patching'.

----------------

And also, why would they include a loader (which can not add this in the first place since patches can not do this) for a random feature? In that case you might suggest to them to include every feature which has been suggested before on these forums...
