signing in in another status

[Kenny S]

I have the lates msn messenger 7 beta and it supposed to be able to sign in
under a different status than online, for example "busy".
I have not seen that option though...
any ideas?

Greetings Kenny,

If you open the main Messenger window (double-click the icon in the notification area),
you'll see the option at the top of the window.

Thanks...

But why did they put it in such a place? The most logical place would be in
the right mouse click on the notification icon....

Hi Kenny,

Well you can't really change the login screen as that's the standard Passport login; so, I
guess putting it on the contact list was the next best place.
