I think it does matter. There is no way for the msn gateway to
retrieve names from the msn service. Now, if he had an address book
with email addresses along with the names on that computer then the
name would show up every time the server saw the email address.

Didn't have much luck with the private one so I asked Tim to set
it up; now I wonder how to change my settings on the account.

display stuff in iChat seems to vary a lot from person to person,
and i wondered if it could be server settings affecting things.

No, that doesn't work, ugg. Also to my MSN contacts Joshuatubbs1
is displayed, and I don't want that.

Joshua,
If you go to the view menu from the buddy list window, in
there you'll find a submenu called buddy names. Currently it
sounds to me like display by handle will be selected. If you
change that to either display full or short names (i can't
tell the difference between those two), you should start
seeing what you're asking for.
Hope that helps
Scott

Subject: Contact names in IChat
Hi all,
I am just wondering where I can change my contacts display
names, because it's really frustrating me that it's being
displayed by email. The thing is, for a friend of mine, he
didn't have to change his names manually. He can also see if
people change there MSN nickname. The reason I wanna change
it to this if I can is that ACB Radio Interactive puts this
stuff in there name, like what DJ is on, and if I change it
manually it'll just be ACBRI or something boring like that.
So just wondering if I can get the names from the MSN service
and it automatticly displays them the way it should?
Thanks.
