sending messages while invisible

Everyone in town are talking about a new 'MSN Messenger feature' that allows you to send messages to contacts while being invisible.

When will adiumx get this feature? To me it seems like the most groundbreaking IM feature in history. (I have workmates/collegemates on my messenger)

(I'm using adiumx 0.89.1)

ps. sorry for being n00b.

I've been sending messages while invisible for years. Of course that was on AIM... dunno about MSN.

yeah, I meant over the msn protocol. I know some other IMs does it.

There is a bug/feature that lets you talk while invisible on MSN but i think the windows version has a more official way of doing things.
Do this:
1) start talking to whoever you want to talk to.
2) go invisible
3) keep talking
This stops working when someone closes the window or a set time period has expired with neither of you talking.
