Hmm... that's weird.  I'd actually tried to re-enable my MSN account in 
Pidgin and connect (to test) about two or so days ago, before I finally 
decided to import it to Skype, and it didn't work.  But, I tried again 
just now, and it did connect.  Unfortunately, none of my contacts appear 
online, so I can't test actual IMs.

I wish MS would just leave the protocol available as a "low-resource" 
alternative to Skype, for those who can't or won't use Skype, for 
whatever reason.  Or hand it to someone who'd be willing to maintain it. 
  I'd still much rather prefer to use Pidgin and its logging features 
over Skype.
