 And the real passport of the message sender is unknown. It is very
 possible that some user in the "group" is not in your buddy list.

 I'm talking about the patch. The patch is not per conversation.

 msn_group_member_nick2.diff is adding a 'special_alias' field for a buddy,
 so a buddy can't have a different one in another conversation.

 And sure, in the official client you don't see who sent the message, but
 that's a disadvantage of the UI, the protocol is using the passport all
 the time.
