For Those Running Messenger live and Messenger Plus using tabs

In a previous post I found out that if you are running vista with Messenger
Live and Messenger Plus with tabs enabled you do not get the message
notification (orange flashing chat conversation) because of a bug in
messenger plus and tabs. If you disable tabs it works. But someone has
created a work around.

If you open Plus, goto Preferences, Then Scripts. Click New, give it a name.
Erase all the contents that come up on the screen and enter this:

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message,
MessageKind){
Interop.Call("User32", "FlashWindow", ChatWnd.handle, true);
}

Then save it, your message notifications work with tabbed chats. Its just a
temporary fix until they fix the bug in plus.

Hey Jim,

I'd missed that -- thanks for the heads up.
