Invitations

Is it possible to send some one a Invitation to use messenger??

Greetings Thomas,

There sure is, simply click 'Add a Contact' in the main dialog and add their e-mail address
as a contact. If they don't have a .NET Passport setup on that account, it will prompt to
send them an invitation to use Messenger.

Hi Jonathan. How can I block people I don't know from inviting me?! I use
this strictly for business!!!

I have no profile, I don't go in chat rooms, etc. > I have numerous
"mufasa_puumba_timon123 wants to add you to messenger" (or something like
that) messages EVERY TIME I log in to MSN Messenger. Of course I ALWAYS block
these losers, but it's a hassle.

Hi,

Unfortunately there's no way to stop them, just like there's no way to stop people from
e-mailing you.

Just about anywhere that you may have posted your address. But more than likely you just
have a common name or something.
