Post by: Calum on 29 August 2003, 14:39: some of us use GAIM (open source trillian replacement (http://openopen.org/software/chat/gaim.html)), but i haven't been on much recently and so i don't know if i get those on GAIM (i do use gaim for MSN chat protocol).

Post by: Refalm on 29 August 2003, 23:40: Gaim has no ability to send files, so I use dMSN (http://www.dmsn.nl/) as my MSN client in Linux.

Post by: Unforgiven1 on 3 September 2003, 17:58: I use gaim, and even though I blocked them, I still get the messages. Come on M$...I'm not interested in your make spying easier upgrade, so cut it the fuck out.

Post by: Calum on 3 September 2003, 18:25: yes i get them when i log on to msn, but MoR says they'll stop after Oct 15th. i stopped msn from autologging on till then.

i never heard of dmsn, but i used to use amsn, and their page says nothing about this issue, i was kind of hoping they would have a similar page to this (http://gaim.sourceforge.net/msn.php) about the whole issue. i like to know what's going on.
