-================================================================================

-Useful plugins which can help you to work with the MSN protocol

-================================================================================

-

-Popup 1.0.1.9

-(http://miranda-im.org/download/details.php?action=viewfile&id=299)

-Popup Plus 2.0.3.8

-(http://miranda-im.org/download/details.php?action=viewfile&id=1170)

-----------------------

-All notifications in the MSN plugin are made using the Popup

-plugin. After the Popup plugin installation there will be some

-options available for tuning, you will find them in

-Options/Popups/MSN tab.

-

-Chat 0.2.0.2

-(http://miranda-im.org/download/details.php?action=viewfile&id=1309)

-----------------------

-This plugin allows you to support group chats with many MSN users. Without

-that plugin you can't leave a chat been being invited, so if you plan to

-use groupchats, this plugin is essential.

-

-SRMM (Unicode) 1.0.4.3

-(http://miranda-im.org/download/details.php?action=viewfile&id=1136)

-tabSRMM (Unicode) 0.9.9.95

-(http://hell.at.eu.org/forums)

-----------------------

-They both are true Unicode-aware message editors. Using them you can

-send/receive Unicode messages, so you won't be dependent on the

-codepages, encodings etc. They work only under NT4/Win2k/XP/2003.

-

-Unicode History Viewer

-(http://miranda-im.org/download/details.php?action=viewfile&id=1109)

-----------------------

-If you work under NT4/Win2k/XP/2003, and you can send/receive messages

-in Unicode, the standard history viewer will show question-marks when

-Unicode characters cannot be mapped to the current codepage. In this

-case you can use this plugin to have no problems at all.

-

-================================================================================

-Frequently asked questions.

-================================================================================

-

-Q1. I want to use the OpenSSL libraries, but plugin can't find or load

-them. Where can I find the valid DLLs for Win32?

-

-A1. http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html

-Use the latest stable version.

-

-----------------------------------------------------------------

-

-Q2. I get strange errors with connection, proxies, file sending/

-receiving. How can I find the reason of the problem?

-

-A2. Some useful information is grouped in the networking-msn.txt.

-If it does not help, try to create a network log. Go to

-Options/Network and press a "Log Options" button (the only button

-in the upper-right corner). Very often this log helps users to

-find a hidden diagnostic messages, or simply understand what is

-happening concretely. If a problem persists, you can contact me,

-and upon request, send me (zipped!) a piece of this log.

-

-----------------------------------------------------------------

-

-Q3. My Miranda logged into the MSN network successfully, but I

-cannot send a message, and a contact's menu item 'Message' is blocked.

-

-A3. The problem is in the Conversation Style Messaging plugin.

-CSM plugin is incompatible with the MSN plugin because of the

-error in it. Disable it and/or delete, if you want to use the MSN

-protocol

-

-----------------------------------------------------------------

-

-Q4. I want to compile your sources, but got a lot of errors.

-

-A4. First, you should download new Miranda's SDK sources, and

-place the MSN plugin's sources into Protocol\MSN subdirectory

-(accordingly to the Miranda's directory tree). Notice that MSN is

-not a plugin anymore, it's stored among another protocols. Look at

-http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/miranda-icq to

-view the complete directory structure.

-

-Then download the Popup plugin, and unzip header file m_popup.h

-to the SDK\headers_c directory. Then you should be able to compile

-MSN plugin without problems.

-

-Installation of Microsoft Platform SDK is not required to

-compile MSN plugin sources

-

-----------------------------------------------------------------

-

-Q5. When I receive an authorization request, my own nickname is

-shown in the contact list. Is it a bug?

-

-A5. Yes, it is, but it cannot be solved now. Miranda uses UINs

-to identify a contact, but because MSN protocol have no UINs,

-your own nickname (as a default one) is shown.
