Adding a buddy
The easiest way to send people an instant message is to add them to your
buddy list. Once they're on your buddy list, you don't have to type their
e-mail addresses each time you send them an instant message.
> To add someone to your Address book and buddy list:
1
If you're not already using Messenger, press the Options key on your
keyboard.
The Options panel appears.
2
Select messenger, then press Return.
The Messenger panel appears.
3
Select Edit Addresses, then press Return.
Your Address book appears.
4
Select Add, then press Return.
5
Type your friend's name and e-mail address, select Add, then press Return.
You can send instant messages to other MSN TV service members, or to
computer users with certain e-mail accounts. The accounts that MSN
Messenger recognizes include msn.com, webtv.net, and hotmail.com. If the
address is for someone you can contact with MSN Messenger, an Instant
Message Settings page appears.
6
Select (friend) is your buddy, select Continue, then press Return
A page appears, telling you that the person has been added to your buddy list.
7
Select Continue, then press Return.
Your Address book reappears, with the name and address you just entered.
8
Select Messenger, then press Return to return to MSN Messenger.
> To add someone already in your Address book to your buddy list:
1
Choose Messenger from the Home page, then choose Address Book.
2
Go to the address of the person you want to add, then choose Change.
3
Choose Instant message settings, then follow steps 6–8 above.
When you add people to your buddy list, MSN Messenger sends them a buddy
request, asking if they would like to exchange messages with you. Your buddy
list shows them as Not Connected until they accept your buddy request.
However, you can still contact them with MSN Messenger even though they
don't appear to be connected.
