+================================================================================
+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.
