This is going to be a quite complex question.

One of my contacts has expressed an interest in a random number generator for Messenger, that can be used in a nick. To be precise, the ideal behaviour of such a plugin would be to generate a new random number for each instance, even in nicks (which would therefore change with every message).

After analysing the API, I realised that Msg+ tags, if they can be used and, more importantly, interpreted in nicks, then that means that, in a busy convo, the person's name would change frequently, causing the MSN server to boot him from the server. I then thought, why not do it at the destination? But then I found out from the API that tags don't work that way. I then thought it could be done with a custom tag.

Is it possible to do such things with Msg+ the way it is now? If not, would Patchou consider adding such a feature in the next Plus! release? If the answer to both is no, then I'll need some help figuring out the Messenger API itself.

PS: This post got a bit long didn't it?
