    I would like to know if someone has blocked me in MSN. It seems there are third party tools that allow you to know what buddies have blocked you.
    Would gaim be able to show me if someone has blocked me?

      If you hover your mouse over your MSN buddy it will say Has You: Yes/No  Blocked: Yes/No.  If you are not on their buddy list it will say "Has You: No", and will have an X through the icon.  If they have you blocked it will say "Blocked Yes".

      I have found that on Yahoo if someone goes invisible you can tell.  I have my buddies set to sort by status.  When everyone is off line they are all grayed out and listed alphabetically.  When someone is invisible they will be grayed out and at the top of the list.  I noticed this so I sent my buddy an im when they appeared to be off line but were not back alphabetically listed.  They were at the top of the list.  He said they went invisible because he didn't want to talk to someone.

      Good to know, but if the easiest way to know if someone has you blocked is to send than an im, email, or what not if they don't answer you they might not want to talk to you.

        Looks like the "Has You" functionality still works fine in Gaim2b4, but it no longer has the X through the icon (for MSN anyway).  Worked fine in Gaim2b3.1.

        Anybody have any idea why the "X through icon if person has you blocked" was removed?  Unless I'm missing a setting somewhere...
