ok i was thinking would it b possible wen adding somebody new 2 ur msn to add a note so they know who it is, ie. John from school often ppl dont use there actual names in there msn nick so this way the person allow/blocking would know exactly who it is

(hope this makes sense)

Just rename them ! click on their name in the contact list, select Messenger Plus! Extra, then rename

it can't be done with messenger plus! because it requires messing  with the protocol, but....

this is from the msn messenger chat with the team to develops it the other day.

Q: When people add me as a contact, I'd like to see a personalized note. I usually don't recognize just an email address. Just a sentence, like "Hey, it's Mary, we met last night." That text would stay with the contact incase I forget why I added them.

A: Well, we actually considered this situation just two weeks ago! People sometimes don't send Friends and Family mail when adding their buddy...so we have come up with an idea to help make this easier (tho' not as involved as your suggestion...which we also considered). Stay tuned...

edit: oh you meant it that way, well you could also use the add note feature by going to Messenger Plus! Extras > Contact Information. From there you can add notes.

yea i meant what saralk said the 1st time with the personalised note. Notes they can see when they accept/block you when u 1st add them

u mean like in yahoo messenger (i guess) and some similar instant messaging program?!?!

Do you mean sticky's about hte person?
If so I'm interested....

hmmmmm this is gonna b hard 2 explain without a pic..... lets say i add someone@hotmail.com to my list, they get the little window saying haYdn (inc__@hot...) has added u to theier contact list, would u like 2 accept or blok

i was wondering if it could say haYdn You gave me ur msn at skool (inc__@hot...) has added u to their contact list, would u like 2 accept or block

some instant messenging cients allow that, but i dont think its possible in msm messenger with plus (but i cannot be sure).

well we can always hope.... Messenger Plus! 3.5

not possible because of the way the msn protocol works afaik (please correct me if im wrong )
