Messenger 4.7.2009 missing mail option after XPSP2 update?

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

Greetings,

This functionality was removed in SP2 (btw, the Messenger in SP2 is 4.7.3000; there never was
a 4.6.2009 version).

You'll need to either
install the previous version of Windows Messenger (see below) or install MSN Messenger
(http://messenger.msn.com/Download):

To downgrade back to Windows Messenger 4.7.2009:

Hi Jonathan,
thanks for the great info!
It's odd that this functionality would be removed from messenger.
Any reason why?
I guess I'll just upgrade to the latest version...I just can't stand 2
different versions of MSN, though...)-8

Thanks again!
