VERSION

MSNP8, MSNP9. See below for MSNP11 and above syntax.

REM (MSNP11)

Remove a contact from any of your lists. Some care has to be taken using this command. Adding someone to your FL uses the GUID of a contact instead of his email, and accepts group parameters (comma-delimited GUID's).

-- MSNP11 (and others?) behaviour --

You cannot remove somebody from your RL. Since you can add anyone to your RL this allows you to fill your RL up, keep in mind that only the users in your RL can remove themselves from your RL (by removing you from their FL). REM from RL results in d/c.

FL:

<<< REM 61 FL xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
>>> REM 61 FL xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

AL BL PL:

<<< REM 61 AL name@hotmail.com
>>> REM 61 AL name@hotmail.com

RL:

<<< REM 61 RL name@hotmail.com
** disconnected...
