"Hello, and welcome to the MSN Messenger API forum.

Interesting. Looks like the officially supported MSN IM API is out Monday. Here's what sounds like a related PDC session...

"MSN Messenger: Extending MSN Messenger with Multi-Person Instant Messaging Applications"
"This session covers the architecture and design of multi-person IM applications within MSN Messenger using the Messenger Activity API. We show how to use the peer-to-peer capabilities of the Activity API to build multi-user IM applications that can send files, instant messages, data, and integrate with other services. Build your IM applications to work with MSN Messenger, the world's largest instant messaging service with more than 165 million customers worldwide."
