O.P. Happy  [Request] Get contact's messenger version
Hi!

I have Messenger Discovery only for look contact's messenger version.

(e.g.: someone@hotmail.com is using MSN Messenger 7.5; somebody@live.com is using Windows Live Messenger 8.0; someelse@msn.com is using Windows Live Messenger 8.1)

Is this possible to do in script for Plus! ?

Thanks! ;)

Me too, I am interested, but in the French forum, a similar question was posted and they said that it was not possible.

Because, that there was no possible interaction.

They'd need to have the script too.

I don't think they would need to...

I think the client information is also sent. Maybe that's why Messenger can say This user does not support shared folder / winks / handwritten messages, etc.

Basically, I just don't know how to do it. That was just an idea.

Well that's if you're going to packet sniff things :P Easier way would be to just use something that sent them a certain message, and if they had the script it'd send the info back..but they'd need the script :/

You cannot see which Messenger client/version your contact uses. You can only see which protocol version the contact uses.

For example, MSNP8 (Microsoft Network Protocol 8) does not allow nudges, winks, and backgrounds.
But you can still run a MSNP8 client but it does not allow you to use such things.

If you can obtain your contact's Client ID, you can determine the protocol version and supported features.

For more information, see here:
