Suggestion: 'Hide Windows'

If you disable "change my status" in Messenger Lock options, and write "/away" in "send a message to open chat windows" in 'Options when locking Messenger' and then lock your messenger, it will automatically set your status to Away. And when you unlock, your status will remain as away. :D

But it is important to have an open chat window when locking messenger!!!
I will add something about the method in quote here:

If you also prefer sending a real message (not a command only) while locking messenger in your opened chats, you can define a multiple lined quick text and set its 'Line breaks:' option as "create multiple messages". Then you can set the message like:

I have locked messenger
/away

But to do this, you have to define a shortcut for this quick text (it can be either a message or command) Then put that shortcut in "When locking Messenger send a message in my opened chats" box. I must remind again that you have to have at least one opened convo window for this method to work and commands of MsgPlus! enabled.

Or if you can't always guarantee having a chat window while locking, you can set a personalised status for which you can also set a shortcut and you have to press that hotkey before locking messenger.
