I just tried this in Mesenger 7.0 and it never opened a browser window. I copied the text exactly from here and made sure the space after helomsg was [Alt]+0160 and the most I could get it to do was do a Yahoo Search on the string. Other side sees:

s: helomsg 
:+)-(%/?#()(=(/;_@#~$(@;+?/(?#@@*-)?@+#@;?(msg<?#@@*-%29?@+%23@;?%28msg>:

There must be some other settings on either mesenger or the computer
itself for this to work as you say.  Possibly a setting for mesenger to use
your default browser for searches in stead of the PM window?

Cheers
