I saw someone ask for this in a thread yesterday but the thread sort of disappeared so im going to post it here

code:

---

function msnID(email)
{
    var msnID = 0;
    email = email.toLowerCase();
    for(i = 0; i < email.length; i++){
        msnID = msnID * 101 + email.charCodeAt(i);
        msnID = msnID - Math.floor(msnID / 4294967296) * 4294967296;
    }
    return msnID;
}

---

My eyes hurt at the sight of "msnID - Math.floor(msnID / 4294967296)*4294967296"
Use the modular arithmetic function (modulo) instead:

Javascript code:

---

function UserId(email) {
    email = email.toLowerCase();
    var x = 0;
    for(i=0; i < email.length; i++){
        x *= 101
        x += email.charCodeAt( i );
        x %= 4294967296;
    }
    return x;
}

get out

i mean... umm... thanks

Keep in mind that if you want your own ID, just use

code:

---

var ID = Messenger.MyUserId;
