Greetings,

Unfortunately you can't really hide this behavior with just Messenger. What you could do is
make use of the Messenger Plus! Boss Protection functionality. You can find Plus! @
http://www.msgplus.net. Also take note to be sure to read through the installer, as if you
do not wish to install the sponsor program (ie. advertising) that goes along with Plus!, be
sure *not* to chose that option during the installation.

You can find out more (and instructions on use) of the Boss Protection feature here:
