macOS AppleScript & MSN Messenger

[sec12tst8r84]

I am new to AppleScript. I would like to create a Growl notification for any incoming messages from MSN Messenger. Is there a way to determine that a new message has been received using AppleScript and then having Growl display the message? I am basically looking for the same way Growl treats Adium but for MSN Messenger.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I don't know how to do this, but I'm just curious as to why you are using MSN Messenger instead of Adium.

tell application "GrowlHelperApp"
set the allNotificationsList to {"Incoming"}
notify with name "Incoming" title "Incoming Message from MSN" description "A incoming message is coming from MSN" application name "Growl notifier" 
end tell

this will tell growl to show a notifier
you can use things from MSN but it would take a long time

Thank you. I know how to set up a Growl notification using AppleScript. I am lost as to how to trigger that notification (in other words watch for an incoming message).

I'm using MSN Messenger instead of Adium mainly because of some bugs in Adium as well as some missing functionality.
