...what would you see on it that would make it better?
I've already considered several points, but please tell me what else you might see in a chat program.
*There must be ads. It's one of the only ways to fund a chat program. However, since it only adds a tiny income, you can fish out perhaps 5$ a year if you want them removed.
*HTML format. At least, you could type a tag and then the code afterwards will show up in the chat protocol as HTML, so you could write some div tags and display a button script to your friend.
*Smilies. Kind of obvious, but people should be able to add their own as long as the submissions are in a certain resolution limit...right?
*Beeps should be off by default. I figure it's a good feature to have on some occasions when I actually want to know when someone has talked to me and thus have a beep to get my attention. However, it should be off by default, instead of either being hard-wired in or, as I think it is in all the other messengers, just turned on by default.
*Large Messages. Also kind of obvious, but because MSN has a ridiculous 100 character or so limit on sent messages, it's impossible to display a good block of code for someone to see, because you have to cut and paste it continuously on.
*Message Recording, so you can look them up later.
*RAM efficient.
