How to send "notifications" not messages? Like when MSN sends MSNBC news updates?

[John]

Hi,

I have an automated program that sends me messages. I'm using the Java
MSN implementation by xrath. It's working well.

When I want to send a message, I have to call a user (me under a
different passport) and then wait for the JOIN to come back from that
user before I send a message. This is somewhat cumbersome.

What I'd rather do is send a message like what MSNBC sends for News
alerts and MSN Investor sends for stock watches. These just pop up and
go away, there's no session to the other side.

How do I do this?

Thanks,
John

Greetings John,

Unfortunately you can't send .NET Alerts to users without first signing a .NET Alerts
contract (among other things). For more information, see here:

as well as
https://microsoft.order-6.com/netservices/
and you can contact for more information as well.

Thanks! I'll stick with standard messages since it's just me sending messages to me.
