... it is EXTREMELY annoying for the contact if he constantly gets a message whenever he logs in.
The contacts I meant were my mom and my sister.
Since both of them are _seldom_ online, they need to know that I'm actually online when they are signed in.
So, I know for sure that the comeback messages I regularly send will not annoy them at all.
I see... never thought of that
but...

What you need is an addon or plugin which simply opens an (empty!, aka: new) chat window when someone comes online.
Ideally, yes 
This is not what you need in that case.... If
they need to know if you're actually online you shouldn't use any automated plugin or addon; you need to tell them yourself in person.
Because, otherwise, how would they know if it is actually you and not the automated script answering in your place when you are
not behind your PC?
If they just need to know if you have the status "online" (or one of its decendants) then why don't they simply look at your status? Again, no automated thingie needed for that...
Also, because of what you described, I said you need an addon which opens a conversation window, which you agreed upon apparantly. But simply automatically opening a converstion window on your msn messenger will again not let them know if you are online or not...
So, if what you want is what you described in your first post here, then you need an addon which automatically opens a new conversation window on your msn messenger.
If what you want is what you described in your last post, you don't need (even: you shouldn't use) any automated script or whatever at all...
