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.

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. + +---------------------------------------------------------------- + +WMBR, George Hazan (ghazan@postman.ru). -- cgit v1.2.3
