Description Alex Argiropoulos 2005-07-09 10:34:45 UTC 
Version:           0.10.90 >= 20050522 (using KDE 3.4.1, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.3 (Mandrakelinux 10.2 3.4.3-7mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11-6mdksmp

When the kopete can't sign-in to MSN and it thinks it's a 'Internal Server error' of some kind, then it would be nice to include in the messagebox the following link:

http://messenger.msn.com/Status.aspx

That would help users IMHO.

Thanks!

Patch adds a link to MSN service status site

I had some free time, so I have written a patch for this wish. The patch adds a
link in the MSN-Action menu (where you can open your inbox, change your nick,
...). There's also a reference in the error message.

I hope I could help. :)
