I've installed SimpleAway for Miranda. Take that, M$N IM and your WMP-only feature!
Meanwhile, for those still on MSN Native, there's hope yet, with: MSN 7 Universal Patcher++ v0.8. This baby lets you run multiple instances of MSN Messenger (so you can use multiple accounts, or harass people as you wish), as well as remove banner ads, tabs, MSN Search and the Actions Pane (tested on MSN Messenger 7.5 Build 0299). It's supposed to be able to remove the Ad Bar also, but I couldn't get that feature to work.

*How Anonymous Mooncakes work?
->It all starts when you send a mooncake with the Anonymous Mooncake Option.
->Notification will be sent to your receipant that they have an Anonymous mooncake.
->When the person recieves the notification, there is only one way to find out who sent the Anonymous Mooncake
->They have to send an Anonymous Mooncake of their own to the person(s) they like.
->If all goes well, the person they send the Anonymous Mooncake to will be you and that is a match!
->Details of matches (if any) will be revealed when you collect your mooncakes."
If that wasn't clear enough, the way it works is that you send your crush an anonymous mooncake. If your crush also sends you an anonymous mooncake, they inform both of you of the other's identity.
There was a website which did this via email some time back, but it failed because people just entered their whole address book because they wanted to find out who had entered their emails. So I predict the whole thing fell apart because people just used "I was just trying to find out who liked me" as an excuse when they got cold feet. Or people being what they are and having 10,000 email addresses each entered the wrong email so people weren't matched. Or some such reason.
With this, you have to pay $2.50 for a Tung Lok mini mooncake, so you can't send them to everyone you know. Besides which, it doesn't identify you via email, so you will definitely be notified if there's a match.
Han, in a characteristic stroke of genius: but why mooncake? of all things?
