 Hi,

 yesterday I tested the beta version of Microsoft Messenger for Mac, 8.0.
 This version showed the same problem as all other MSN clients tested so
 far. What's even worse, Messenger 8.0 doesn't even support offline
 messaging.

 I'm waiting for a beta release of Windows Live Messenger 2010 now which
 has been leaked recently to test whether the problem also exists with that
 version. I had a longer discussion with the Adium developers on that topic
 yesterday and their opinion was that Microsoft changed the protocol and
 now all third-party cannot properly interpret the "Has you" flag anymore.
 However, the Adium guys didn't know that even Windows Live Messenger 2009
 has the problem, too. The adium guys think it will be fixed for WLM 2010
 but I still don't think it's a client issue. The reason is that actually
 "Has you" is still properly set *sometimes* and contacts which are already
 set to "Has you: Yes" remain in that state that means this status is still
 transferred properly even when doing a fresh install of Pidgin without any
 local data which could might cache that flag information.

 I'm still waiting for Microsofts response.

 Adrian
