O.P. Happy  Adding an External COntact list to Msg Plus
Guys, dont you think Mr. Patchou should add a external contact list, or aka. Contact list enlarger into Plus. Many plus users have over the limit of 150 contacts, including me. And i dont wish to create another account to contain another hundred, because i would like to log in both at a time. And using polygamy, i have to type my password again and again for the second account

I voted yes, although this implies lots of changes and protocol handling (which Patchou has said in the past he wont do).

At this moment in time, its not really needed as microsoft are increasing the amount to 250 i think or something around that figure, I voted 'no' because a lot of people have people on their lists that they have never/don't even talk to. I think that its just a waste of space tbh, but as its in popular demand at the moment, go for messenger discovery.

O.P. RE: Adding an External COntact list to Msg Plus
:( But, i have friends who have like 5 accounts.and unless they have alot of contacts, whey wouldnt bother.

And as you mentioned, " People usually have contact they dont talk to"
all my contacts i will talk to right now, because over the time , i have deleted thsoe tht i dont talk to , and replaced with those who are closer to me.

So i vote yes again .

(Hope patchou notice this )

Oh ya, and messengerdiscovery doesnt work for me. i have downloaded the missing dll from the web, and placed it in the program folder . But it doesnt get logged on. Running Os. Win 98 SE. No Firewall at all. Just reformatted so all should have no clashse. When i said just, i mean 2 hours before i type this message

True, but it doesn't work for lots of people...

This is only a rumour and nothing is confirmed. Also, I highly doubt this...

EDIT: The MSN Messenger development team said they "will try increase it a bit, but it isn't for the near futur". In other words, don't keep your hopes up...

And other people do have more then 150 active contacts...
