It would be very useful, however how is the script going to connect to their computer to see what their local time is?

Ask them to type (!T) if they have Msg Plus! (Live) :P

very funny! :) 

But any kind of handle on the contact-name display label would be useful even if I have to store their time zones in a local file.

I don't want to get into a debate about calculatng timezones.  My question is simply this:-

Is there anyway that i can change the text which is displayed for a contact in my contact list using script in msgpls live version 4?   

(let me worry about what I put there, it might be times, it might be colour of their hair, it might be shoe size, it might be number of days since we last had sex) :P

Yes, one should always check to see if questions have been asked before. I did.
Thanks

Which is also exactly what has been explained in the thread "Timezone Script" which I linked to.

quote:
** append a contacts timezone or the actual time in their location to the end of their name in the contact list.
=> This is not possible as you can not modify such things with a script. The best you could do is to create a nickname for the user and constantly update it. But this is a very lame-ass and bad way of doing it if you attempt to do this with a script.

As for a built in feature in Plus!Live, it is possible, but I also doubt something like this will be added.



PS: don't double post please
