Funny thing about messenger here...

Heh... just click on the messenger icon at the left. You will get a popup windows saying this:

Please note that these functions require that you to be logged into either MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger. You will not be able to send messages to the email address that you are logged into MSN/Windows Messenger with.
Being this a Linux forum... This is a bit funny :P

Oh well :o

*L* Good point-- but it's still true. It doesn't work for me with gaim anyway-- but it still gives the email which is all you really need.
