#6591: can't add or IM yahoo user with @ in the name?

 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 <myYahooAcct>.
 }}}

 I am able to receive IMs from her, but haven't seen any evidence that I am
 able to return them.  I haven't reproduced the problem with another user
 because I don't know anyone else with a Yahoo account in that format.

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

 Thanks!
