Problem: Custom nickname not used for sign-off messages
WLM version: 14.0.8089.726
MP!L version: 4.84.0.382
OS: Windows 7

Hello everyone,

As you probably know, Messenger Plus! Live has a nice option to give a pop-up notification when someone signs off. However, MP!L will always use the default name* for the contact for these notifications. Even if you have given someone a custom nickname**, MP!L will still use the default name instead of the custom nickname.

*This is the name that your contact has chosen for themselves
**You do that by right-clicking a contact in your contact list and choose "Add a nickname"

I can confirm this

MP!L can't read custom nicknames... It can't interact with them in any way whatsoever to be precise...

That's odd. Can you please tell me why it can't do that?
