RE: [Request] Nickname in tab
Hello Cadellin,

Great to hear that you’re using Messenger Plus! since its beginning back in 2001. You might be interested in reading Patchou’s story about it — I am sure you will find it as interesting as I did.

Regarding contacts’ nicknames: Messenger Plus! and its scripts do not currently have access to custom names you give your contacts, for now (CookieRevised's reply to Contact Names <-> Nicknames?).

Furthermore, from Messenger 2011 onwards, Messenger has dropped support for display names. Instead, the names that your friends enter in their Windows Live Profile, is shown to you. I doubt that Messenger Plus! can or wants to change this behavior.

Does this information help you?
