Re: Instant Messenger Clients
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.

Re: Instant Messenger Clients
Personally I would like a feature that automatically deletes expired MSN accounts from your contact list.

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?
