Comment:

 This technically isn't a bug, as the maintainer of the MSNp9 plugin, which
 is what is currently in use, says that aliases are supposed to be local
 only and not stored on the server, even though our plugins for AIM
 (OSCAR), Yahoo, and XMPP already do this.  I disagree with this position,
 but I do not touch MSN code.

 In reality, this should be a feature request asking for storage of aliases
 on the server.  I'm setting it as such.
