Yes, but it is VERY slow as it opens each contacts window individually

Also if there all open you can type /all MESSAGE HERE and that will send the same message to every convo you have open :)

Unless you only have a few contacts they're unlikely to all be open... I'll update this in a minute with a working script (hopefully)



It's rediculously slow on my machine with only 20 contacts (online contacts, I wasn't going to make it do all the offline ones too)

RE: Send Message To All in Contact List
hello.

I have been trying to seld /all to 30 or 40 contacts at the same time and after 8 or 10 contacts I've got a message saying that I'd exceed the number maximum of messages per minute. I thought it was a messenger limitation then I wrote and received back a email from microsoft stating that messenger does not have any limits on the number of messages per minute.

Does anybody has a solution for that problem or any advice? I'd appreciate it.

thanks

Carlos

It's Plus that has the limitation. I thinks its to blocking flooding messages to other people.. like spammers ect. IIRC.

Did you explained it properly? Because there is definitely such a limitation in Messenger.

You can even find the message in the resource string table with index 20135.

There is no solution. This limitation is to prevent flooding. Advice: use /all with great care! It is not meant to flood people.

no... This particular limitation is from Messenger itself.
PS: please check your stuff before posting, more than often your posts have wrong stuff in it.
