Greetings,

Firstly, just so you're aware, this is the group for Microsoft Messenger (MSN Messenger or
Windows Messenger) clients on Windows XP.

Secondly, you really can't "lose" this feature, more than likely what's occurring is your
contact on AIM has switched to another client which supports AIM but doesn't send the
"typing" message to you.
