 that would cause every buddy without an alias in the group to be matched
 to each other. Something that is decidedly not what anyone would want.

 As far as I know, it wont group empty Alias. that was only a generic
 question.
 But I manage to get it working by expanding and separating two already
 manually group contact, and just editing one of its EMPTY Alias. I just
 clicked and saved, even as empty, and Pidgin suggested me to group them
 back. kinda strange.

 Replying to [comment:4 deryni]:
 > If you try giving the buddy an alias when you add them does pidgin ask
 if you want to contactize them? If it does is that enough for you or is
 there something else you still want?

 I would like for it to be automatic even without any Alias, so it
 could/should be based on email not an Alias.



 Offtopic: maybe i'm miss understanding this, but what are Alias for?
 (nick)Names I want to place on my contacts overiting what they choose to
 show, correct? If so, I dont want to have Alias on them, if not, please
 explain further.
 Thanks.
