Re: msn spam im problem
There's a way to block unknown messages in MSN's client, although I haven't used their client in several years. It seems to carry through, because I've never had the problem since in either Trillian or now Pidgin. Janine Nikhil Shah wrote: Hi, I have an MSN account I’m using through pidgin.
