O.P. Script that alerts me when specified friends in MSN Messenger go online
I'm searching for a script that alerts me with an EMAIL when a specified contact goes online.
I don't find it.
Do you confirm that it doesn't exist?

It doesn't exist, but it should be VERY easy to make... I'm sure that someone can put a simple script together for this (I'm really busy atm)

Why do yhou want it as an email though? I don't see the purpose of that (might just be being dumb)

Urm, there is a way to show you when a contact is online and its not a script but it doesnt alert you by email.
If you want it anyway just:
Right click the contact > Messenger Plus! Features > Event Notifications > Create New Notification.
I'm awesome

That's the best way in my opinion I've tried both ways.

If you're not going to be online, you could get it to send a message to yourself (I seem to get email copies of offline messages so I assume others do)

If you're not online, then such a script wouldn't work either...

And if you are online (in whatever status), you can always revert to your event log and sort on contacts comming online.

If the argument is that after a crash or something you still want to know who came online before the crash, then again the events log will fix this since it can be saved to a file....

I don't quite see the purpose of the email notification either... Except for the case that you're far away from your computer (other town) and you need to keep track of who logs in. But in that case, a remote handling script can do this too, or even remote assistance, or any other remote tool or variant...

"Plus! preferences, customize, event notification" only offers Popup and Sound notifications. No email option.  :(

"Right click the contact > Messenger Plus! Features > Event Notifications > Create New Notification" only offers Popup and Sound notifications. No email option.  :(

I'm sorry, do you actually read what people have said, or do you just scan the posts for a "quick fix"? People do not know the use of such a function and Cookie even suggested using the Event Logs that come with Plus!
