Hello,
I have some questions about the messenger integration in Outlook:
-How Outlook detect the MSN Messenger status from an contact?
Send the Messenger some info to Outlook, ask Outlook the messenger about the status of a contact? Or how it works?

And it's possible to "catch" the event "Send a direct message" from Outlook too?

It would be nice if someone have some ideas or give me some infos where and what I should search for.

I ask this question because I want to write an an addon for an instant messenger which can handle the MSN-Protocol already, but I have not any idea how it works.

Peter
