Comment(by cydon):

 I just tested blocking in MSN on pidgin version 2.7.11 for windows. The
 other person running the official microsoft client version could see me
 online and receive my messages but I did not receive any messages from
 him/her.

 Also, even after deleting the contact the other person could still see me
 online and send me messages and I also could send messages as well.

 Seriously now, I appreciate very much the effort open source developers
 put into programs with no compensation whatsoever but this has been
 ignored for 4 years. I have been waiting for this to be fixed for 3. The
 only reason I was not impatient is that I very rarely use the block
 function. So, the question is this. Are you ever going to fix this or will
 I have to (regrettably) change my client?

 To hell with winks, handwritten messages and voice clips. We are talking
 about basic functionality here that creates huge privacy problems when its
 not implemented and you only find out when you test it. Are you serious
 about creating a client for the MSN as well or not?
