It's not possible doing this with the MP!L scripting library. However, you can retrieve the font and the color by hooking the Winsock. If you're going to hook the Winsocks, you're going to need a DLL. And if you don't know what a DLL is, you can use Xniff (search the forums) by Pai. It's a DLL made for MP!L, which enables you to read sockets easily. I'm not sure if it's working under Vista right now.

Changing the font and color of your own messages is a bit more tricky. Messenger Plus! has the ability to do this, but you cannot use it from scripting. These font-settings are stored in the registry, but I'm not sure if it's going to work if you change them, without needing to restart Messenger. To change the registry keys, you will need to calculate the MSN ID. And then open the actual key which contains the MSN ID (search for wtbw posts on this forum) using some Win32 calls to the Registry API. Read more about the Registry API on MSDN.com.
