Hi there,

I'm having trouble with WLM due to messenger plus. Just so you are away, I don't have messenger plus installed but my contact does.

Every time I try to open a conversation with him, or he tries to start one with me, it crashes my WLM.

Now if he changes his name, or I change it from my WLM, it opens fine.

His name is [*b][c=#04103E]----->   G¡øvåÑÑ¡ <------ [/c=#127A03][*/b]  - (without the * in the bold tags) something in that is causing WLM to crash if I open a convo with that as the name. We've both done fresh WLM reinstalls as well, and he's done a fresh Messenger plus install, to no avail.

In the meantime, I've renamed him from my WLM, so it all works fine now, but I just thought I'd poke you and let you know.

Sidequestion: Can formatting codes make WLM crash?

You don't have Plus! installed, but Messenger crashes on your side? In that case it's not a Messenger Plus! bug since it's not doing anything to the name you see.


EDIT: Tried it, but no problems here.
