O.P. Idea for a "Appear offline"-checker?
Yesterday I installed WLM on my laptop, I signed in and everything worked fine..
I got the usual pop-ups from Plus! and WLM.. One of them was the question if I wanted to use Shared Folders on this system, I have them on my main PC so I switched them on.
With a couple of my contacts I already had Sharing Folders on my main PC.
After a while I got a message from WLM asking me if I wanted to have Sharing Folders with 1 of those contacts.. while that contact was still offline! Just for fun I started a conversation with him and he told me he had just signed in as Appear Offline.. And the exact same happened with all those other contacts, because all of them sign in as Appear Offline..

So WLM sends some kind of "sync" signal on sign in to the people you have Sharing Folders with... Is there a way to "catch" that signal? Like a long time ago: You could know if someone started a conversation because MSN sends a request for the DP which could be intercepted.

Anyone with real knowledge about these things, who knows if you could actually make a app/plugin that could tell me if my contacts are appearing offline? Even if it's just for the contacts you have sharing folders with, it still would be quite funny (6)
