 The problem is simple MSN both the protocol, and all related to this want
 to goin to shutdown by they owner (Microsoft) in first quarter of 2013
 (yes as ben anounced by the microsoft guys officially) in favor of Skype
 This mean that MSN protocol no more work  (unles any found a workaround)
 for the second half on 2013 in forward (probably a little more time)
 They aready say that the now going to support only Skype protocols and
 programs

 This is traslated in that they (Pidgin) now urge a skype (almos message)
 protocol suppor as fast as possible

 I frefer not relly on skype (they is know that skype send encripted data
 until you not use it) already installed
