O.P. Mysterious message
The following message was shown under the message I received from my friend:

MSG <user email address & name> 94
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/x-msmsgscontrol
TypingUser: <user email address>

It seems the above is some msn  protocol analysis information, but how come it was shown in my message box?  Is that my friend or myself is sniffing by someone?

RE: Mysterious message
does it appear under every message you get? or just once?
and are you sure your friend didn't send it himself?

There are a few scripts for Plus! that use some sniffed data too. Which scripts do you have installed?
Though if it's a part of his message I highly doubt it is caused by a script, since scripts can't make received messages longer IIRC.

Up to now, it just appear once.  I have asked my friend and he didn't send these log and he is not a Plus! user.

I have installed some scripts long time ago but i don't think its the cause.  Otherwise the log should appear under every message, right?

RE: Mysterious message
Looks like a bug in the protocol parser of Messenger. The same sometimes occurs with emoticons (emoticons such as ":P" magically appearing at the end of the message).
