 Replying to [comment:6 TehWan]:
 > Even if Pidgin does not behave exactly like the official client, Pidgin
 is NOT the official client, so it may behave differently. That said, I
 suggest "block" should block the contact, as in, totally blocked. Some guy
 made a program that just keeps on spamming me with offline messages, and
 even though I blocked him, he is not really blocked, it is only an
 illusion. (and reporting the msn admins did nothing at all, they can't do
 anything about it, since i'm not using the official client)

 lifted and I will be able to finally use Pidgin again on that MSN account
 without getting spammed to death.

 I guess this one (block messages) can be done with a plugin. You only need
 a "block message" list in the prefs or something like that and every time
 a new conv opens you check against that list and allow or stop the process
 of openning the new tab.

 I don't really know if it's supported by the msnp.
