I think a plugin like this would be sooner be used as a spy tool then it would have a real normal purpose. If somebody should make a plugin like this, be sure the user is notified his/her conversation if forwarded (and to who) when a conversation is started.

Nahh.. I wouldn't think so.. I see your point... But this isn't any different that if I was copy/pasting the conversation to another person... The person I'm copying from would never know I did this... so this is nothing different than copy/pasting you conversation with a person to someone else, excpet this would be full automatic... that's the only difference... ...

Yes i know, but i mean when you install this plugin (when it would be created) on somebody else's account without him/her knowing it. You could set it up to forward all communication to your account while your victom doesn't know unless he/she goes to Plus! preferences > Plugins. On the other hand, installing a keylogger, virus or whatever is just as easy that way. I guess i just had a paranoid privacy attack .

I do like the suggestion BTW, just can't figure out a sitiation in which it would be usefull yet.

Me neither, but I like the idea, and think that it would be possible...

Just had an idea. Couldn't we use Messenger API to detect if a message is received?
And how to do it?

no, you cant yet, only can you run code (easily ) by both contacts having the plugin, and sending the special code.

so this plugin would be pretty hard to code, and probably get used by script kiddies. the Idea was good Jaguar, but the amount of people who use it for the wrong reasons is going to be more than the people who use it for the right reasons.

Does anyone know if anything like this has been created yet? I'm really interested in copying messages sent to me to my cell phone.

cell phones aye...use msn/hotmail mobile

I think this plugin could be rlly useful.. here's a situation..

your at home.. you're waiting for some1 to send you a msg.. damn, the person is taking too long, you go up to go to watch tv, the pc is still downstair, you got one upstairs though but its logged to another account.. its ok, youll sign in on it, but before you can log-in, you decide to go to the bathroom.. while that happens, the guy sent you a message.. and went offline.. you sign in upstairs, you have no msg, the guy is gone, u dunno if he came in, u wasted ur whole time..

the message is still downstairs.. but you have no clue there is.. so ye..

IF YOU HAD THAT PLUGIN u would be fine

( see how much imagination I got )

I use it whenever I can, but the problem is that most people just aren't aware of it. So, I've been searching all over for a plug-in or program that will do this with no luck.  I keep my MSN on often, and I want to be able to still receive messages when I'm out. So, is there still hope for this idea?
