Are you open to suggestions for improvement, like stuff people *really*
want to see in MSN Messenger 6.3? or 6.4?
- renaming your contacts, so it is clear who is who
- support for multiple accounts at the same time (I would love to
have something like tabs on the top and be able to have multiple
contact lists on at the same time)
- animated emoticons
- animated display pictures (I thought that would be in 6.2, but
haven't seen it)
- off line message sending
- setting auto-away message
- broadcasting (I saw that in Miranda IM, now I use a bot for that)
maybe even for files.
- having nick and message on one line (optionally) (saves display space)
- tear off webcam display (both) so you can turn them in separate
windows, maybe even dock them at other places in the chat window
- removing of the jump back bug (sometimes the chat jumps back
to a download link, or link)
- optionally displaying downloads somewhere else (maybe status section,
tear off)
- links opening in default browser, or better configurable browser (IE
is way too dangerous)
- an URI scheme for adding someone to MSN via a webpage (ie click on a
webpage and he/she is added)
- change the naming of logfiles back, why on earth was this renamed?
- would be nice if there was an easy way to interface with the client,
so it can be extended
- 150 contacts limit, way too low
