While viewing "Contacts who have me" in Contact List Clean-Up window, all the contacts who I don't have in my list appear only with their email addresses. For those contacts, the contact name part displays their e-mail addresses like what E-mail part displays, so it is currently useless because Messenger forgets the names of contacts who we don't have in our list. However, I most of the time concentrate on names, not addresses, and it is currently difficult for me to recognize who an email address belongs to while checking who have me but I don't have.

Saving the last seen display names of contacts in Messenger Plus! Live's registry root, Contacts, and retrieving the names from that root when needed can solve this issue I think. Because, contact's individual entries in registry is not deleted while we are deleting contacts from our list.

You may want to see what I am talking about from the attachment. Thank you.

This is just how messenger stores the information.  If you have a look at the list in tools > options > privacy > Contact list > "view".  Patchou normally sources information from messenger when it is requested rather than storing it so such a feature as you are requesting is not possible I'm sorry.  If you want to take it up with someone then try the messenger team.

But that is just more space and more processing for a new which might not be current anymore.
