Heh, subject seems a bit racy, but it's really alright i think.

I would like to be able to open the "messenger contact information" window and specify whether a particular contact is male or female, that way instead of saying "Jennifer may not reply because his or her status is set to away" it would just say "Jennifer may not reply because her status is set to away"... and so on and so forth.

There were more practical applications to this but I can't remember any right now

Anyway, if this is possible at all, I imagine it'd be fairly easy to implement. I'm crossing my fingers

Thanks again for the kickass addon, Patchou!

1 word: privacy...

yeah, but if you have a friend, You would know if they were a boy or girl. Like custom names. YOu can set it yourself.

Exactly, it'd be completely local. Hell, I could do the same thing with custom names already.

contact bob@bob.com custom name Bob (MALE)
contact wendy@whatever.com custom name Wendy (FEMALE)

etc.

I'm talking about local storage only, no information transmitted.

indeed, this has nothing todo with privacy... now you can write notes for each contact. This is just the same, only you tick a box male or female... Well, idea is good, but I don't think it is very practical, thus chances of implementation are nihil... unless Patchou has heaps of time and is bored

but it would also mean having to change MSN messengers stff, to get the wrods to change, wouldn't it??

hmmm... maybe, I dunno 'bout that... I mean, you could reshack it (it's becoming a verb now these days ), but maybe that isn't needed. Hooking and changing the string in memory should work.

(dodgy topic-titel though )

its in ppls profiles anyway im guessing that what ever program that did this would get the info from the msn profile, so if ya dont want ppl to know, just dont have anything in there for that 1..   anyway, hows that a privacy consern, like i walk down the street and ya can see if there male of female, its not like sumthing ya want hidden from anyone

yep, and also we should update our translations... too much work if you can use the contact notes

Yeah...I like the sound of this...I think a plug-in maybe able to do this...
