I'm using Windows Live Messenger 8.0 (released).

I'm currently writing something invovling MSNP (Yes, I know it's against the
TOS)

I've came across a nice little bug in the way Messenger handles messages,
I'm thus able to crash mine & anyone elses messenger on demand. It doesn't
have any effect to other clients. I've not tried it on ealier versions of
Messenger yet, but I will.

I'm not saying anymore, reason being, I don't want this to get into the
wrong hands, else there will be lots of people's Messengers crashing..

Would someone (An MVP or someone) like to contact me..
()

Thanks...
