Well, my guess is that there is no simple way to launch MSN Messenger from the web browser... or maybe there is, I am not sure. In any case, all MSN buttons on phpBB forums lead to the person's profile, where their MSN ID can be seen. After that it's just a matter of copy-pasting the ID into MSN Messenger, GAIM, aMSN, Kopete, Trillian or whatever you use for your Instant Messaging needs.

It does seem odd, since I'm sure you could have gaim be your default MSMessenger app....

This has been a intentional feature in phpBB for sometime. There should be a way to modify this, maybe even a hack on their forums.
