Re: Msn protocol
send 560116
thanks
Please see Debian bug #560116, Pidgin 2.4.*: Can't Connect to MSN
Messenger. Apparently Microsoft have changed their MSN Messenger
protocol _yet again_ -- Several clients of mine who use Woe{XP,Vista,7}
all asked me about 'mandatory wlm updates'.
This bug is available via www at [1], or by sending an email containing
the first two lines of the body of my message to [2].
[1] http://bugs.debian.org/560116
[2] requ...@bugs.debian.org
I do not have Internet access at the time I compose this email, so the
syntax of [1] may be off. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Offtopic: Would it work if Roy simply forwarded this mail to [2], since
I included the commands at the beginning of the mail?

It has been two/tree days now, unable to use Pidgin or Centerim, and so is a friend of my .. also Debian. Yes, I had problems for a few days using Empathy. I resorted to trying Microsoft's Messenger on Windows; it kept saying that I needed to accept the term and conditions, and it sent me to a site which was unavailable. After Googling, I found many suggestions that you need to login to live.com and accept the terms of service (TOS) when propted. However, I never got prompted when doing this, and ended up setting up a new account - which then worked OK. Funny thing, when I logged in to my old Live account the next day, in order to delete it, I was then prompted to accept the TOS. Which then made my old account work again. G. I note the the TOS say you can't use unapproved third party IM clients. ;-) -- Tixy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
