O.P. RE: What scripts can't do.
Could one develop a script to display LaTeX in MSN? And if so, would both clients (both the sending and the recieving) be required to have LaTeX and the script installed? Or just LaTeX?

:-s You don't know LaTeX??

Anyway, I am still pushing MS to integrate LaTeX into WLM, but they just don't do it:(. You can use Math Pastebin, I made that a while ago, it uses MimeTeX instead of LaTeX, but you can probably do most things you want to do.

RE: What scripts can't do.
It is possible to make this as a script, but it is waaaay too much work for something like that, especially since there is a very good Messenger Activity available for putting in advanced formulas, called "Math Pastebin":

It doesn't require anything special...

PS: all this has been reported for splitting as this is not a feature request thread or thread to ask for a certain script. This thread was made to make clear that script aren't the "can do everything including making world piece"-tools. Although you can make advanced scripts, they have their restrictions too... ...splitted

RE: [request] LaTeX script
I was thinking in asking a Script for this but I just tried Math Pastebin activity and it works very nice. I have a question about that.
Is there a way to add the activity to the messenger window? Or I have to go to the page (using IE only btw) and launch it?
