Comment (by refried):

 I received an authorization request on my Yahoo account from someone with
 username with the format:

 name at hotmail.com

 I approved, and tried to add her as well, but got an error.  I forget what
 it was.  I know it looks like a MSN account, but it was truly received via
 my Yahoo account.

 When I try to add her through the IM window, I get the error:

 (8/10/2008 12:00:26 AM) Could not add buddy name at hotmail.com to group
 <Group> to the server list on account <MyYahooAccount>.

 I am able to receive IMs from her, but haven't seen any evidence that I am
 able to return them.

 The Pidgin Debug Window with error level "All" doesn't seem to indicate
 any problems.

 I dunno if I should've submitted a new ticket for this or not, but seems
 like a fairly major bug if a valid class of usernames is actually being
 misparsed.

 Thanks!
