MSN Feature Requests...
1. Managed (.NET) Plug-in Support. UI changes, functionality changes, allow us to trap the generic events OnRawReceived(), OnMessageReceived(), OnMessageBeforeSend() etc.. and manipulate those messages going in either direction.
2. Abilty to minimize to tray, no popups, and just flash in the tray on message received (of course flesh out some useful options and setting alternatives here)
3. Group conversation windows (tab placement, amount of conversations per tab, etc. should all be configurable)
4. Alias people's display names, and allow for grouping of contacts
5. Be able to view/download Display pictures from contacts
6. Be able to customize incoming message events (like different sounds for each contact, could be done via a plugin easily)
7. Allow slash commands, for example "/me ...". Similar to IRC
8. Allow ability to ignore colors/formatting/etc..
9. Time Stamps on messages and log files
10. Multiple, and seperate, accounts in a single instance
11. Skin support?
I guess you could simply download Gaim and Trillian and steal as many ideas out of them as you can.

I'd like to be able to configure alerts based on contact status change. Globaly is fine, but contact level would be better.
I.e. Bob was away and is back online, I'd like to be able to have an alert fire off.
And I back that contact image d/l option (he stole my idea!!!!)

Plug-in support would rock. Well, as long as it's easy to work with than the VSTO stuff.
