Product Description:

Messenger Plus! adds a host of features to MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger, including:

Various Messenger Tweaks - With Plus!, you can rename your contacts to tidy your contact list, see statistics about your buddies in order to clean up your contact list, make your windows semi transparent, automatically accept file transfers, filter words from the messages you send or receive, and much more!
Enhance your messaging experience - you can have your own personalized messages to send to your contacts when they contact you while you're idle or away. Messenger Plus! also offers 50 slots for instant Quick Texts, customizable automatic messages that you can send with a simple shortcut or typed command, quick icon panels to make it easier to insert your emoticons without having to remember their codes, a Text Recall feature to resend recent messages, the ability to search inside your conversations and a Quote Sender.
Advanced Logging - Before MSN Messenger even showed a sign of logging, Messenger Plus! already offered it. Plus!'s logging is much different than MSN Messenger's logging, with archiving, encryption with passwords, and let's not forget the fact that you can log every event!
Other Messaging Features - Messenger Plus! gives you the possibility to choose any color you want for front and background, and add formatting, such as bold, italic, underlined and stoke-out. It also lets you control almost every aspect of Messenger via text shortcuts called commands, much like the ones in IRC chat.
Enhanced Notifications - If you don't use Hotmail, you can choose to be notified whenever a new e-mail arrives in your POP3 mail account (up to five can be configured!). Additionally, you can receive toast-style notifications for any contact event, like when contacts their nick or go offline.

What's new in this version:

Messenger Plus! Live 4.00 will soon be released. Some last compatibility fixes have been made into Messenger Plus! 3 to make sure the upgrade goes smoothly for everybody. Note that both software will be capable of running together but won't be entirely compatible, that's why Messenger Plus! Live automatically disables Messenger Plus! 3 upon install. You can then, if you wish, reinstall Messenger Plus! 3.63 (and nothing below it) if you still want to use Messenger Plus! in Windows Messenger 4 or 5.
A new major version of sponsor will be distributed with Messenger Plus! Live and I thought it would be appropriate to include it along with this update. The new sponsor package is distributed by Circle Development Ltd and I'm sure everybody will be happy to know that they've removed what users didn't like the most: the home page change and the search bar. Also, in case you would wonder, nothing has been added either compared to previous versions.
The sponsor agreement in the setup has been enlarged so that everybody can read the part about advertisement without scrolling. The screenshot of the search bar has been removed as it's not installed anymore (and it wasn't really needed anymore anyway as there's no way you can mistake the sponsor's agreement for anything else now).
When the sponsor is installed, Messenger Plus! is listed as "Messenger Plus! 3 & Sponsor" in Add/Remove Programs so that people can locate it easily if they don't remember installing the ads with Messenger Plus! after some time.
Developer's note: due to the way version 3.62 was compiled, a network path was embedded in the binaries (pointing to the pdb file). This was causing extra delays to developers trying to debug something on their computer with Messenger Plus! installed as their debugger was trying to locate my computer name on their network. This is now fixed.
