that's not the issue/problem...
Like raceprouk explained: MSN Messenger 7 now displays the DP into the toasts. To do this MSN Messenger needs to have them first, so it effectively starts a conversation with all your contacts and closes it once the DP is downloading. Detecting this opening and closing is exactly what that "open convo notifier"-feature does. In other words, it can't differentiate anymore between a convo that is openend by your contact himself and a convo that is openend/requested by MSN Messenger to fetch the DP's...
Even in MSN Messenger 6.2 you see this effect: If you use a "open convo notifier" in MSN Messenger and you sign in, you could be notified that some people have openend a convo with you. However, these notifications don't come from those people, but from MSN Messenger 7 which they are using (because their MSN Messenger 7 requests my DP)...
Benefit from this: I can exactly see who on my contactlist is using MSN Messenger 7
