Greetings Dan,

Messenger has never had this feature, it's a part of Messenger Plus or one of the third-party
Messenger patches (www.a-patch.tk, mess patch, etc.).

Messenger Plus does not work in 8.1. A-Patch has been updated for for the 8.1 public
release, the specific feature you're looking for is called polygamy.

It used to be possible to install an earlier version of MSN onto your machine
and run both at the same time, logging onto one account one MSN and your
other account on WLM....I don't know if it's still possible. Hope this helps.
