Off the road http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/ encryption for messenger that supports various other messengers like Pidgin Miranda and some other one...

It would be great since Microsoft obviously will never implement it and unfortunatly the other messengers dont support Video Chat.

Plenty of people out there use OTR and it works with messenger protocol just cant install it directly into messenger it has to be installed into pidgin yet another half a dozen messenger for one single job...

Alternatives are already made into scripts

http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/search/?q=encryption

SHA1, MD4, MD5, Base64, Hex, Binary and URL-encoding.

One of the 2 scripts will likely fit your case (crYpt)

Also, the free Simp Lite or the paid for version (if you require its features) work very well with all versions of Messenger, with or without Plus!. 

Some might consider it less trustworthy than OTR because it is not open source, however.

yea well there is a reason why I asked for OTR specifically all those scrtipts are not compatible with OTR and Every one I chat with uses OTR not these other ones in fact no one else really uses msn.

Besides to the fact I cant think of a better one to support, its a shame its not even considered.

I use Msn cause I can Video chat but theres so many people out there with so many clients its hard to keep up, Pidgin is a great multi protocol messenger that supports plugings and OTR but no web cam, so round and round we go dozens of of messengers and all half baked none really complete and then theres guys like you that offer a great potential and astounding extras  but still its only a single protocol and the world has outgrown one thing.

So realistically its two or 3 messengers installed instead of one plus all the addons like yours and every thing else...

Is it just me thinking this is ridiculous?

Actually that way of thinking is pretty similar to Microsoft well we already do this why do that?

I thought Messenger Plus Live was about showing MS adn giving the WLM users the experience our way not theire way...

Now with we already have something whic is incompatible BTW as I mentioned does it mean that adding a new one is such a pain in the developers backside? Or is this a close minded users point of view?

If you don't like how things work why don't you make your own plug-in? or even much better, your own messenger compatible with everything? maybe you could make something better than Microsoft, or Patchou, who was worked in this for many yearse

I think encryption should be built into plus and the default setting is on

You know if I could code I would do a lot more than that for sure Im just suggesting yet something more powerfull and main stream yet I keep getting this anti implementation of OTR.... you dont work for Microsoft do you? only those guys are that blind to innovation...

I'm not anti-OTR, it would be great to have it, and have a lot of cool functions, but do you know why Plus! doesn't have them? Because a lot of time is needed to develop them and get something 100% stable, and afaik Patchou won't include third-party software (I may be wrong).

Of course I don`t work for MS and I'm not against innovation, but you can't demand to have something when you don't even pay for it
