This is a plugin for Messenger Plus! Live that will allow you to send sound effects to your contacts. Contrary to other plugins with a similar function, this one is based on the following idea:
The sounds do not have to be available locally, they can be put on any Internet server. The plugin will then play them using
audio streaming.
Since the plugin uses the technical basis of Windows Media, it is capable of playing every sound format that Windows Media Player can play, including
MP3, WMA, MIDI. It can even play video files (although you will not see the video, only hear the audio channel). You could also stream a sound file from your local computer using a simple HTTP Server like HFS.
Flexibility is this plugins' strength.

On the same page (but not a Plus! script):
Messenger Plus! Live allows you to check your email account for new emails - even if it's not a Microsoft Hotmail account. When a new email arrives, you can through one simple click start your email program.
Now if you are using Microsoft Outlook like myself, you will have the following problem:
When Outlook is already running, and Messenger Plus! detects a new email, you can click, but this won't make Outlook check for new emails. Only when Outlook is not running, Messenger Plus! will launch it, and upon being launched, Outlook will automatically check for new mails.
This script is the solution: It detects whether Outlook is already running. If yes, it will make Outlook check for new mails. If no, it will launch Outlook and Outlook will automatically check for emails.
In any case, you will get your new mails.
