Hi
i'm writing an application to send message to YM. i have two questions:
1- how to send a text via network without losing styles ?
2- is it possible to make communication between RichView and yahoo IM windows with applying text styles to that ?

Sorry, I do not know YM protocols.
Does it accept HTML or RTF messages?

I'm not sure about that myself. but i heard it uses Webbrowser and HTML.
i have seen some programs like pidgin that are not using HTML but it is possible to communicate with yahoo and applying text styles easily.
i think there is a standard protocol for more of messengers like YM, MSN, AOL and ... .

No, different messengers use different protocols.
As far as I know, all messengers listed by you have their own protocols.

I searched in internet but found no thing about protocols that they use. do you know any refrences to search about them ?
I thought it should be possible just by using HTML tags.

As I understand, YM protocol is private and not publicly documented.
Google returns many results on "yahoo messenger protocol", but I was not able to find more or less complete information. As I can see, even loggin in and sending a simple text message is not trivial.
