O.P. Suggestion - Auto save to folders
Something that always annoyed me with MSN Messenger (compared to ICQ) was that all the files were automatically saved to a single folder.  Although it's possible to select "save as" instead of "accept", it creates an extra few steps before receiving the file.

The auto-accept feature that Patchou has added is great.  You don't even have to click "accept".

It would be great if an option was added to automatically save the auto-accepted file to a folder (under the default save folder) that consists of the contact's e-mail address.

For example:  person@domain.com sends you a file.  With this option turned on, it would automatically save the file to "My Received Files\person@domain.com\".

The option could be off by default.

What do you think?

Well if the people complaning about the lack of users allowed on their contact lists use this then the folder would become cluttered and fast!

Not really.  It would become structured.  If 100 contacts send you an average of 5 files each, you would currently have one folder with 500 files - with no way of telling who sent you which file unless you remembered.

If they auto-saved to folders, you would have 100 folders, each with 5 or so files.  You would know exactly who sent which files - and all the files from a particular contact would be in the one place.
