It means that you have a MSN account and if a person wants to send you a Message it will be sent to your MSN... and vice vera, if you are logged into your MSN and you click on the MSN icon you can send a message to their MSN...

It's works for AOL, Yahoo & MSN

How do you get emoticons to appear in the body of the text, rather than in the top line of the post?

Please help!

How come the tool bar for text color, smiley's, and link inserts doesn't appear when posting replies? Is that all still being worked out?

I can still type in the html code for the text color I type in, but that gets kinda tiresome.
