MSN 8? Isn't that Windows Live Messenger? I know you can use Msg Plus! to use other browsers with 7.5.

I think one of the patches will do it. I use A-Patch at the moment and that doesn't support it, but I am pretty sure the mess.be patches do - its whether or not they do a patch for the Windows Live BETAs

Will have to be a tweak as Microsoft things opening in non IE isn't going to happen. Just swap off that Hotmail rubbish to GMail like me. MSN still works. Just don't have a naff email.

What about Windows Live Mail? (I think that's what it's called)

Or is it trying to do a Gmail...

I use it mostly as a GMail inbox notifier as not enough people I know use it. It does work with other networks but I don't think it does MSN. Not checked recently though.
