Yes, on the MSN side it's easy enough... but in Kopete 0.3 the MSN chat dialog 
had *no* support for such chats in the GUI essentially making the feature 
worthless. Nor did MSNProtocol have any provisions for multi-chats yet. Only 
the libkmerlin code had (partial) support for it, but for kopete as whole the 
support was incomplete.

In the current KMM branch we have now a KMM and its associated chat window 
which can hopefully handle multi-user chats, but MSNProtocol (being the 
interface between libkmerlin and KMM) still doesn't have the support.

With both the backend and the GUI now supporting the chats I can finally start 
working on them in the middleware. My point though was that being able to 
work on it doesn't mean it's supported _now_ ;-)
