4 With Accept Messages checked, when you receive a message from someone not on your buddy list, you’ll get
an alert like the following:
5 Choose from the following courses of action:
• Block User - The sender of the message will be blocked from sending you any messages, including the
one they’re trying to send. You won’t see any more Accept Message dialog boxes for this sender, until you
“unblock” them. (Read more in
Block/Unblock Buddies
on page 86.)
• Decline - The sender of the message will be blocked from sending you any messages, including the one
they’re trying to send, for as long as you are signed in. The next time you sign in, if this person sends you
another message, you’ll receive the Accept Message dialog box again.
• Yes - You will see the message from the sender.
