Messenger and Vista RCx functionality

All

I have been using Vista and noticed some interesting quirks with Messenger
integration. The following appears to be lost when installed on the Vista
platform:

"Sign in as ..." no longer available from the right click to sign in - this
works as expected in Windows XP
Grouping of conversation chats - ie when a person types rapidly under XP,
the converation is grouped until a reply is sent through.

I only use Messenger in a basic manner and the above functionality is all
that I have noted as being different todate.

Any ideas on the above?

Regards

Sean

Greetings Sean,

This is actually a feature. You can make it the standard behavior by clicking the Tools menu
(or press Alt-T if the menu is hidden), then Options, then Messages category, and select the
"Show 'contact says' before every message".

Jonathan - it's so easy when you know how! Many thanks for that

Any ideas on the "Sign in as" functionality?

Regards
