Set up a grid in Excel, colour in the cells that have your battle ships, send your guesses via email.

Internally? I sincerely doubt it.

if it is going to cost, which i doubt, then why not use msn messenger or that program that is built into windows used for messaging (forgot name of it)

They didn't disable it as such, the messenger service was just stopped if you start it again then you can use it again.
