# Introduction
|
|
`MSG` is a command introduced with [MSNP2](../versions/msnp2.md).
|
|
|
|
It is a Notification and Switchboard Server command, WITH a request and WITH a response payload.
|
|
|
|
Used to transfer MIME-headered data to other parties, whenever that be you or other users.
|
|
|
|
# Client/Request
|
|
```
|
|
MSG TrID [ U | N | A | D ] length
|
|
data
|
|
```
|
|
## Acknowledgement Types
|
|
* U: Unacknowledged, no response is sent.
|
|
* A: Acknowledged, a [ACK](ack.md) response is sent if the message is sent successfully.
|
|
* N: Negative-Acknowledged, a [NAK](nak.md) response is sent if the messaged failed to send successfully.
|
|
* D: Data, a version of Acknowledged that also has a response of error 282 if the message was poorly formatted.
|
|
|
|
Acknowledgement Type `D` is defined since [MSNP9](../versions/msnp9.md).
|
|
|
|
Where `length` is the `length` in bytes of `data`.
|
|
|
|
Where `data` is the body of the message,
|
|
usually containing a `MIME-Version` header and a `Content-Type`.
|
|
|
|
*This can only be sent from Switchboard.*
|
|
|
|
# Server/Response
|
|
```
|
|
MSG user-handle friendly-name length
|
|
data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Where `user-handle` is either the senders's handle,
|
|
or `Hotmail`, if sent from the Notification Server itself.
|
|
|
|
Where `friendly-name` is either the URL-encoded Friendly Name of the sender,
|
|
or `Hotmail`, if sent from the Notification Server itself.
|
|
|
|
Where `length` is the `length` in bytes of `data`.
|
|
|
|
Where `data` is the body of the message,
|
|
usually containing a `MIME-Version` header and a `Content-Type`.
