Subject: Inks.... :( (Depressive people don't read that :p)

Hi guys,
bad news... Last days I was trying to make Inks work with MSN7 so I
implemented the P2P ink transfer believing it was the key to make them
work... But after some searching I found a bad news... I tried to send my own
GIFs and each time it didn't work : the image didn't display... So I thought
it was a bug in my P2P transfer... But after I had an idea : capturing a GIF
comming from MSN7 and resend it and... It worked !! So I deduced that the
data was the cause and searched again and again... And yesterday just before
going sleeping I saw the true !! Each GIF created by MSN contains data in GIF
comment field : ISF (ink serialized fromat) data I suppose so that when MSN7
get a GIF for inks and when it has Journal Viewer installed it search in this
field to get the ink... But if it hasn't Journal Viewer installed it will
display the GIF content : I tried with Alberto (thanks to him) : he sent me
an Ink with his aMsn original (so old way to send inks) and I received it on
my MSN7 !! Why ?? Because I don't have the Journal Viewer installed !! I
can't write inks !! So I think without reversing the ISF we can't send Inks
to MSN7 and over users...
It's too bad I know...
Phil
