Encrypted

Why arent the msn messenger chats secure & encrypted?

Is it perhaps because they want to keep track of everything that is said on
the internet
via super computers?

Dont tell me you think that no one is listening...... you are a fool.

Greetings,

It's considered a "corporate" feature right now, and a selling point of Live Comm. Server and
Office Communicator /w a federated license.

You can always use Simp though:

he means trillian with simp, or trillian on its own...? lol

I say he is talking about trillian with simp. If not, where is encryption in
Trillan?

If I have simp and the other ones does not, will the messages I send out be
encrypted at least?

No, since they won't be decryptable at the other end.
