Cannot Read Hotmail Email with New Version of Messenger

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger (More info?)

Greetings Joe,

Actually, the SP2 version of Windows Messenger doesn't support Add-Ins and causes this
behavior, so I just assume you've simply updated to SP2 recently?

To quickly fix this, simply downgrade back to the previous version from here:

You'll also need the MSN Add-In:

Thanks. I had the same problem as the original poster.

If anyone at Microsoft asks, yes, this is a problem with the latest
version of Messenger as far as we users are concerned.

Hi Michael,

I'm afraid at this time, this is by design.
