One thing that really annoys me about WLM is that if you right click the icon in the system tray, and choose to send a message, the window that pops up displays all contacts (both online and offline). There doesn't appear to be any way to configure it to only display online contacts like the main window does.
MSN Messenger only ever displayed online contacts in this window by default.
The reason why you'll see offline contacts too is because you can send IMs to offline contacts also. That's exactly the new feature...
Hence if there was a method to remove the offline contacts, you actually will decrease/turn back/kill that feature...

That has got nothing to do with it. See explaination above.

Although an option to sort that list wouldn't be wrong (also improving the "name selecting wheel" so it behaves the same as with the contact list would be nice).
You can always make a suggestion to the Messenger team by going to the main menu:
Help > Send Feedback or by going to
http://support.live.com/eform.aspx?productKey=wlmessenger.
