Custom Status in Messenger

[Doug]

Is it possible to easily create a custom Status for
Messenger? Something users could do. Would like to have
them indicate their location on occassion.

Greetings Doug,

Unfortunately no, you're limited to the 7 status options that are in Messenger. However, you
can always just add an away message to your display name -- just open the main Messenger
window, click the Tools menu, then Options, and add your message to your display name. For
example, if your current display name was:
Doug
change it to:
Doug (in Building 2)
then you can set yourself as Away, so on your contacts' lists, they'll see:
Doug (in Building 2) (Away)
