Group Instant Message

[Guest]

I want to send an instant message to a group, not just an individual. This
does not seem possible. I am on Messenger 5.1. Yahoo! Messenger allows you
to do this.

Greetings,

Yes, this feature is only in MSN Messenger right now (basically it just adds the people in
the group into a conversation). Although you can "sort of" get this functionality with
Messenger Plus (www.msgplus.net) today for Windows Messenger (you open up all the windows of
the people you want to message and then execute an /all <message> command).

Hi again Jonathan,

Although this feature is not available in Windows Messenger 5.x, do you know
if will become available in Office Comm.?

Thanks,
Pete.

Hi Pete,

I don't believe so sadly.
