No, thats whole point of appearing offline so no-one else can see that you're online.

alittle more information is: no its not possable with ANY program, as the MSN/WLM servers do not allow this

There's a bug that my friend exploits in plus for live messenger - individual contact sounds appear to still sound even if they log in as appear offline, or even blocked - I could see one of my contacts online and my friend said "hey, he must've signed in appear offline cos my sound went off".

I don't like this, it's a bit of an invasion of privacy.

Note that this is not a bug in Messenger Plus!... This is a bug in the Messenger protocol itself.

Messenger Plus! just reacts on what it recieves from Messenger...

indeed. You can complain/report about this to the Messenger team:
