Seeing screen names of contacts you've given nicknames to. by yoinkster on 12-27-2007 at 10:05 PM

Back in the day before Live! and we had to use msnplus to give contacts nicknames, you could just hover over them on the contact list and it would give their actual screen name in the yellow "alt" box.
Now that Live! has got this feature in itself, when you hover over a contact, the yellow "alt" box comes up with your given nickname and not their current screen name.
If you open two {or more} tabbed chats, their actual screen name appears in their tab, but you can generally only see part of the name because the tabs are small ...
{Hope that makes sense}
Is there any way of seeing their screen name without removing their nickname or doing a /nick (!N) ??
