O.P. [SUG] - Diff display name by group
I have come to require the need for multiple logins with different MSN account because i don't want my name displayed to everyone the same.  IE - work and social.  Would it be possible to have a different name displayed for each group?  For instance i break it into Friends and Family, and Work, but I want just my Name, or Company name displayed to my business contacts and my friendly name or changing name displayed to friends and family.

Would be a great addition i think.

Atm, this isn't possible...I remember discussion about this before. I can't remember the outcome...So without looking into some developing information about the protocol, I can't be sure, but my instinct says it isn't possible. However this is not the first time this has been suggested.

i for one believe it *may* be possible

in Stuffplug NG you have the option to set a Chat Only Name.
why not check the email address/friendlyname of the contact
set the according chat only name and send your text.

though this would require very good programming knowledge. i can see it possible, it would only become your chat name though :)

in terms of communicating client-to-client, it DOES support whatever you want.
