Q: Is MSNP9 (MSN6) going to be supported?
-A: It is planned in time, but currently, the protocol isn't completely

+A: MSNP9 support has existed in Gaim since 0.69. However, at this point,
+features such as custom smileys and buddy icons aren't yet implemented.
Q: Will I be able to use Gaim for MSN after October 15th? (The day they're preventing third party clients from connecting)
-A: Read <a href="msn.php">this</a>.
+A: Yes. We use MSNP9, which is available in 0.69 and up, and MSNP9 is
+supported after October 15th.

+Q: The MSN plugin won't load!

+A: You need Mozilla NSS or GNUTLS for MSN's SSL requirements. Make sure
+you have your Mozilla NSS or GNUTLS packages installed on your distro.

+Q: The MSN plugin won't load on Slackware, but I have Mozilla NSS!
+
+A: Slackware installs Mozilla NSS to a non-standard directory. The fix is
+simple. Edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4 (or whatever
+version you're using, but it's usually 1.4) to the file. Then re-run
+configure and recompile Gaim.

Q: I just upgraded Gaim and the MSN plugin will not load. Why?
