How do I change my contact's names into what I want them to be?

[jaedynz]

When I click edit/preferences or w/e and change their names to what I want them to be, it changes them just fine on my contacts list. But when I type a message to them and they respond, it is always in their own personal name. This annoys me because I like naming people their real names on my MSN so I know who I am talking to, plus it looks nice and it is easy to talk to and I much prefer it. I honestly would rather use another program if I can't figure out how to do this. I have looked everywhere and cannot find a useful answer.

You're completely right. I just checked it, and the option to change the nickname of a contact to whatever you want doesnt work. I'll fill a bug and fix it as soon as possible.

Ok, I fixed the bug
I'm testing it, and if everything is fine, you'll have the fix in svn this weekend.

The bug was finally fixed by billiob
You can get the latest svn 11910 and you should be able to see the correct custom nick
