Comment (by deryni):

 On MSN your email address *is* your screen name. In the same way that on
 ICQ your UIN is your screen name. Having the text for that entry change
 per-protocol was something that we used to do and was confusing to many
 many people, I have seen many fewer people confused since we changed to
 have them all say 'Screenname' because really despite what the name of the
 authentication token really is everyone more-or-less understands what
 should go there. At least that's my take on this.
