detecting on....offline on yahoo and msn

[only me]

I have several people on my yahoo and msn messenger list. But most show
offline. But the question is..how to know if they're online instead of
offline? I like to detect if one of my contacts are really online...tho
with my pointer showing offline.


Any suggestions or advice please email me..

TIA..

Greetings,

I'm actually not versed on Yahoo's present condition on detected blocked contacts but MSN
Messenger presently doesn't have any real way of doing this.
