khc, nosnilmot?

For unnamed chats, in general, perhaps the prpl (MSN, in this case)
should not specify any name for the conversation at all. It should
perhaps rely on libpurple to come up with a good name.

A ticket to track this issue will be great. It will make sure someone
eventually finds a proper fix.
