K it goes like this. Ive this contact 'AAA@hotmail.com' on my contact list
His Nick is 'BBB' and it remains so for a few weeks
Then suddenly, one day when he's offline, His nick is displayed as AAA@hotmail.com.

K so im asking why? is this natural?

btw under contact list cleanup it puts the BBB but in the list its AAA@hotmail.com

it's not causing a problem is it?

perhaps he or she removed their name or the MSN servers have a minor problem sending you/collecting his  data

it isnt much of a problem really. but bcos he uses his nick to pass on msges it may become quite a bother if i dont get the msg

check msgplus event logs

and tell him to email or IM you

theres some kinda dilemma so he wont msg me and given this situation i cant msg him
could he have blocked me?

This is normal, it should disappear in the future.

uhm...Try to delete this contact and reinsert it in your list.

it could....

That is, if he has removed his screen name, or change it to his email address prior to blocking you, then that could explain it. However, there is no way to know for sure if he has blocked you or not (unless you ask him in real life).

In fact, even if he didn't changed his screen name you still might see just his email address if there was some connection/sync loss after he has blocked you. Because in that case, WLM wouldn't be able to retrieve his name either.

Removing and adding the contact again will not solve it if the contact did block you.

BTW: do you see his personal message?

oh yea the thing is the personal msg stays so its getting weirder lols
