Well, my purpose was to stop those annoying multichat window with too many people that maybe you don't even know.
You can't "stop" or "prevent" them. The warning you'll get from that script happens _after_ the mtuli-contact chat was established. By that time, all those unknown people would already had the chance to see your Windows Live ID. To realy stop such forced invites you need to sniff and alter the protocol messages. And even then, a 'smart' contact (who is sniffing the protocol himself) would be able to see your Windows Live ID. This is one of the major shortcommings (and privacy issues) in the MSN protocol.

If you simply want the confirmation not to be shown when you are in a group chat, you could try to use the menu-trick to check if the chat is a group chat or a multi-contact chat. It should work, in theory.

How about checking if contacts in multi-contact chat are in my contact list? For example, if contacts > 5 and most of the contacts are not in my list, it is probably an annoying multi-contact window, and not a group i subscribed to, so i will ask confirmation 8-)
Very unreliable... Everything that depends on the number of contacts, or on contacts in general is unreliable for this. You can never get proper or enough information from the contacts object to differentiate between type of chats, it will always be major guesswork and assumptions.

Instead, use the menu-trick. It is the most reliable of all as it does not depend on anything at all, except for Messenger itself creating the window in a particular way.
