Hi !

I had changed since a month to instantbird, is very wonderful and useful ! lool
But days ago, i want make a msn chat and this is not available :-(

I remember, that with pidgin we can call a chat with one msn friend, and invite others to join our chat ... !

I think it is not so dificult, and it will be a goodie in instantbird, more when it has addons for chat ... !
I suggest the development of this feature !

Regards,
Filipe

Partially transcribed/reworded from [1]:
MSN conversations (at the protocol level) are all MUCs, so it's always possible to add someone, but libpurple (and the chat/ backend) doesn't support changing an IM conversationto a MUC conversation. So when someone is added to an MSN group chat, libpurple would open a new MUC conversation titled "MSN chat".

12:58:50 <flo> and I don't know if Pidgin/libpurple supports inviting someone, but if it does it's with a menu item added by the protocol plugin to the conversation, or something similarly poor UX-wise.
13:31:16 <flo> we could probably support it, if someone had enough interest in it to define a good UI for it, and write the code

Ok, its all you had described at first paragraph !

Sorry by the question, but what output is this link ? a chat log ?
If instantdird has a chat, im interested to join this ... !

See images for best understand

Chat window and ivite friends to chat in pidgin

It shows a person, because my friend has exit chat !

Now, i take the question:
If Pidgin take this, why instantbird that is best that pidgin do not has this feature ??

On the behalf of Florian:
Closing bugs related to the Instantbird UI as WONTFIX, as the development of the standalone chat client Instantbird has stopped. Instantbird users are encouraged to migrate to Thunderbird. The user interface of instant messaging in Thunderbird will feel familiar, as the Thunderbird IM support started as a fork of Instantbird.
