It means they are winking at you. Normally a wink means that they are not being serious about what they say or are trying to make a subtle hint.
There are quite a number of various things that one can get from the MSN's Emoticons section. Some of the emoticons that one can get are smiley faces, frowning faces, and a heart.
Say things like "You looked really nice yesterday." use alot of winking and smiling icons, and also say, "You are so funny!"
MSN has a size limit. The file you are trying to send must be must larger that than limit. If it is within the limit then you would need to reinstall msn to rule out probable software corruption
The person you are trying to nudge or wink may have the older version of MSN
MSN is different than e-mail, which is why it is "instant." When an MSN account signs on, it is linked to the MSN server, and with regular emailing, you send from your computer to another. However, with MSN, you send via the MSN server. You are given an 'MSN IP" so you can be selected. Each individual MSN account has its own IP. When you add a contact, their MSN IP is sent to your computer, and when you send a message it goes through the MSN server, and the MSN IP of the recipient is selected and your message delivered. With normal emailing, your message travels through cyberspace for a short time "looking" for the correct email, while MSN goes through the server and the population of places to search is narrowed down extremely and allows for faster travel.
