Microstuft Windows Messenger Q

[SparkyJohn]

Does/can Messenger give away any info about the user, other than username, to the other party in the 'conversation' eg:IP address, ISP etc ?
I ask as I need to have a quick 'chat' with someone, I've got no voice atm and I'd sooner they not realise I'm not on the company network.
Thanks

Yes, but not easily. As in, it needs to know it all in order to work, but i have no idea to even start finding it all out.

OK, thanks I doubt they'll dig too hard, but if the reply window (or whatever, I've never used MS Messenger) said Reply to: John Doe aka SparkyJohn @ Numptynet 123.3.321.1 that would be bad...
Maybe I need a dry run.
