Other then just asking them; nope not possible.

Thanks Bro!

you can try writing as a username something related to your friend's account.

For example, let's say you want to check if random.email@hotmail.com has you in his list. 

Then write as a status: "Hey random.email@hotmail.com, what's up?" and sign in several times. Or try to write something that will catch his/her eye.

Try this several times for a couple of days. If your contact doesn't start a conversation with you, he/she probably doesn't have you in his list anymore or doesn't sign in anymore or is plain ignoring you.



Though I have a question, do you think someone who deletes you would necessarly block you? Because I'm suspecting that someone in my list has deleted me (he used to talk to me almost everyday) and now I see him online but he doesn't start a conversation with me... I don't want to get his attention with the trick mentionned above but I just need personal opinions on that

It is (was?) possible to do this on WLM 2009 - it asks you when you delete a contact, if you want to remove them from Hotmail as well, and if you want to block them.  As of 2011, I haven't actually deleted anyone, so I'm not sure if it still asks.  But it'll only offer to appear offline, rather than block (but in this case, it is the appearing offline that we are looking at, since you can still see they're online)...
