Ok, yes, currently the MSN's groupchats feature is not yet implemented on Minbif.
Reason is that in libpurple, these groupchats are not same thing than conversation chats. libpurple provides a function to get a menu for each buddy, with actions callbacks, and the only way to start a groupchat is to “click” on that kind of menu.
I think the only solution is to hack for the MSN protocol…

Currently, when someone invites me in a multi-user conversation on MSN, minbif correctly joins it, but there is several bugs inside channel (can't associate users when they speak, and channel users).
It supports only one multi-chat at the same time, because MSN's plugin give the same conversation name to every channels.
When a user leaves, he isn't recognized.
Also, there isn't yet any way to create a multi-chat.

Ok now /j #nickname:msn will create a group chat, and multiple channels can't have the same name.

Ok we can consider that MSN group chats are supported, but there is a bug with members names.
So I close this ticket and create an other one to report this bug.
