Okay, I've been doing some research on a couple of things:

Convo window closed notification
Because of the way WLM handles the conversation protocol, it's not possible to make a reliable notification for this.
This is because when someone closes the conversation window, WLM doesn't immediately terminate the chat connection. Therefore the other participant(s) won't get a signal that that person has left the conversation.

Delete notification (a toast message when someone deletes you from his/her contact list)
Can be done. Will be available in the next version.

Add notification (a toast message when someone adds you to his/her contact list)
Can be done. Will be available in the next version.

New stuff
I've also been researching FileTransfer notification. When you transfer a file with WLM you get very few information about the transfer (just the progress). Also, when you start a transfer and continue chatting, at some point you will have to scroll up all the time to see what the progress is.
I'm looking for ways to intercept those file transfers so I can show information (file name, progress, transfer speed, etc) about them in a separate window.
This can also be done, but will take a bit more time.

Planning
The next version (V1.10) will have:
- Add notification
- Delete notification

FileTransfer notification will be available in a later version (probably V1.20 or so).

nice script mrhuge, thx a lot! however, can you please still do the convo window close notification and add the option to turn it on/off? because when the other person is using old version of msn, the notification will still be accurate. Trust me, I installed MessengerDiscoveryLive and tested on 2 computers together. Although sometime I still get faulse notification, when the other guy close a window, the notification shows up 100%. But MessengerDiscoveryLive is too buggy, really appreciate if you can make it, thanks.
