Software Update: Messenger Plus! 2.21.55

Messenger Plus! is the most used extension for MSN and Windows Messenger. The program ensures that your (just) installed Messenger is provided with boss protection, chat session logging, plug-ins and improved text formatting. Version 2.21.55 was recently released and features an improved quick text, a new emoticon and properly working /me and /run commands. The release notes look like this:

2.21.55 Version – 09/09/2003

• The 3rd Boss Protect setting is now loaded correctly when Messenger Plus! starts.
• Custom Name feature improved for MSN Messenger 6.1. This new version of Messenger displays contact emails instead of their names by default in the chat. It’s now replaced by the real name of the contact (as Messenger 6.0 did).
• New Custom Name option available with MSN Messenger 6.1. You can select a “grey check” (or “square check” if you’re using Windows XP) when you enable Custom Names. Doing so will force the custom name to be displayed in the chat window.
• Important bugs have been fixed concerning the use of “/me” tags in a contact name.
• The Share Files feature is now working fine in MSN Messenger 6.1.
• You can more easily use the /run command with command line parameters now.
• The roll eye emoticon has been added to the Quick Icon panel.
• The Quick Text have been improved. You can now specify up to 20 different text or commands. To do so, simply create a new line and start it with the ‘#’ character. This can be used to quickly chain several operations. Advanced users can even specify the delay between operations: after the ‘#’, specify a digit between 1 and 9 (seconds) and put another ‘#’. If you don’t specify a delay, the default is 0.5 seconds.
  • Example 1: #Look at my new name! #/nick SuperName #do you like it?
  • Example 2: #In 5 seconds I’ll check your web site #5#/run
• Plugins that return text in ParseCommand() and ReceiveNotify() can use the same mechanism described above for Quick Texts to chain different actions.
