Remove MSN. Use the skypeweb purple plugin instead.
RIP As per http://ismsndeadyet.com/ all versions up to MSNP22 died a few months ago. We had a MSNP21 implementation, bought us two extra years. Implementing MSNP24 is technically possible but also pointless given skypeweb, and the authentication requires some fairly messed up crypto and legacy old-skype-protocol servers. For a long time I tried to reverse a potentially simpler method, and got fairly close, but never completed that. I haven't done any attempts to continue it in the last year, so I'm fine with giving up at this point.

- With this setting enabled, BitlBee will send keepalives to MSN switchboards with offline/invisible contacts every twenty seconds. This should keep the server and client on the other side from shutting it down.

- This is useful because BitlBee doesn't support MSN offline messages yet and the MSN servers won't let the user reopen switchboards to offline users. Once offline messaging is supported, this flag might be removed.
