Mysterious message by tintin814 on 04-06-2007 at 07:57 AM

The following message was shown under the message I received from my friend:

MSG <user email address & name> 94
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/x-msmsgscontrol
TypingUser: <user email address>

It seems the above is some msn  protocol analysis information, but how come it was shown in my message box?  Is that my friend or myself is sniffing by someone?

does it appear under every message you get? or just once?
and are you sure your friend didn't send it himself?

There are a few scripts for Plus! that use some sniffed data too. Which scripts do you have installed?
Though if it's a part of his message I highly doubt it is caused by a script, since scripts can't make received messages longer IIRC.

Up to now, it just appear once.  I have asked my friend and he didn't send these log and he is not a Plus! user.

I have installed some scripts long time ago but i don't think its the cause.  Otherwise the log should appear under every message, right?

Looks like a bug in the protocol parser of Messenger. The same sometimes occurs with emoticons (emoticons such as ":P" magically appearing at the end of the message).
