I'm sure it has been posted before but Messenger Plus 2 adds a lot of nice little features to MSN Messenger.

Ah, Messenger Plus. Excellent add-on. Customise people's display names, auto-reply messages, custom away statuses, better logging.... :)



I keep meaning to get some kind of MSN Messenger client for my phone too.

Personally I would like a feature that automatically deletes expired MSN accounts from your contact list.

Well I know nothing about Mac's but if you can get Trillian Pro working on there somehow I'd go with that. Its got everything you need. I have Yahoo.msn,aim,irc & IRC running on there and they work a treat :)

When i double clicked on the installer it said 6.1 . This is getting annoying.

Just checked out Trillian's homepage only to find:

System Requirements
Minimum system requirements for installing and running Trillian Pro and Trillian Basic is Windows 95/98/ME/2000/NT/XP. There is currently not a Macintosh version available.

:(

In the longer term, I remain hopeful that Mac OSX's Unix soul will make ports of useful apps like this more likely. In the meantime, anyone know which multi-network IM clients do work on Mac?

Someone showed me this webbased MSN client:
http://start.e-messenger.net/

I wonder if it is trustworthy :confused:
