Folks, I have another question if you would be so kind.

My partner & I have Vista & XP respectively. We're running WLM on separate
machines from our primary machines for specific screen real estate and
application display needs. Is there a way to get an audible alert when we
receive messages from each other, even if the focus is still on the messenger
screen (messenger screen is still active)?

Thank you very much for your time and help on this.

Best Regards,

- Chuck

Greetings Chuck,

One way to to get this functionality is to install Messenger Plus Live (www.msgplus.net) and
then the Audible script (http://www.msgplus.net/scripts/view/481-Audible/).

Thanks very much Jonathon. I appreciate a solution to this.

There are many folks using multiple computers in their work that this and
the other request you responded to (suppressing "who" says may benefit
from. It would be nice to have options of "audibly notify when selected", and
"suppress message announcements (who says)".

It would save folks from having to load multiple or large add-ons for very
rudimentary functionality.

Thank you again for your great help.

Best -

-Chuck
