good idea there
Idea is good, but it would not be so strait forward to implement.
The contact list isn't a textfield/box where tab locations are
sometimes in
some programs predefined.
It is a listview control. And in a listview control there are no tab positions 'by default'. And I certainly doubt MS made extra tab positions in MSN Messenger.
In order to add tab positions (so the tab character can be used), Patchou needs to apply them to the listview control, and there is also the question: how many and where to add them... It isn't as strait forward as saying each 8 characters either (default in many programs) as controls in windows most often use proportional fonts (or was it not-proportional?). Tabs like that are not measured in characters, but in dialog units...
Nevertheless, the idea is good, and doable (but not that strait forward).
