Sam

Along with your My Status Messages such as Away, Busy,
and Be Right Back in MSN Messenger 6, is there a way you
can tell your users that you're out for breakfast, or
supper and etc?

Is there a way you can type your own short messages to
tell your contacts about how long you'll be gone and etc.
I would like to be able to do that. Is there a way?
 
Greetings Sam,

No, you can't really create your own status. However, what you can do is just add your away
reason to your display name. To do so, open up the main Messenger window, click the Tools
menu, then Options, and add a reason to your display name (probably in brackets). So if your
display name now is Sam, change it to:
Sam (Went Shopping)
and then set yourself as away -- you'll then appear to your contacts as:
Sam (Went Shopping) (Away).

You can also use Messenger Plus to add this automatically for you, like this:
