O.P. [Request] Open in-box on default browser
Hi, i remember stuffplug having this feature for messenger 7.5 but it seems like they're never releasing it and there's no info of this feature on the new relese.

Anyway is there any way to open the hotmail/live mail inbox on my default browser (firefox) a script for such a task  would be greatly appreciated

Hello,

You are right.

Stuffplug did support this feature.

Im sure they will release it in the new version.

Thanks,

Brayden.

Messenger Plus! Live has a /run command. You could write a script to send the message /run <firefox path> <arguments>

The <arguments> would be the address, but I'm not perfectly sure that this would work. I know adding the arguments after the path works in VB6 for iexplore.exe, but I'm not sure about MP!L

Hope that this helps,

Already requested this, however they open in IE for a reason. Other links open in your default browser but some need IE to work. Remember messenger uses IE for alot of things like logging display pictures. Patchou did not want to code the feature because changing the links could stop certain features from working.

As for Stuffplug, hopefully it will bring back this feature :).
