MSN authentication

[Yonatan Amir]

Hello everyone,
This recent FireSheep business got me wondering - does Pidgin authenticate
the MSN protocol with encryption? I use Pidgin on an unencrypted wireless
network at school, and I'm worried about some bored individual capturing my
credentials. I couldn't find any information that would be useful to me.
TIA,
Yonatan
