 This may be a duplicate of #9021, but it's still broken in 2.5.8, and that
 ticket's old and closed, so I'm submitting a new one.

 I have a contact that always, for some reason, appears 'blocked' in Pidgin
 (pop-up text says 'Blocked: Yes', but the icon does not show for some
 reason).  This contact IS NOT blocked in any of the other MSN clients I
 use (such as aMSN, and the official client).  Every time I start up
 Pidgin, I get this message in the debug log...

 "User XXXXX at hotmail.com is on both Allow and Block list; removing from
 Allow list."

 despite the fact that I had already unblocked it in a previous Pidgin
 session (before a log-off/log-on to MSN), and also despite the fact that
 the contact is NOT blocked in any other MSN client.

 This bug occurs in the latest 2.5.8 version.  In the previous version
 (~2.5.2), I kept getting annoying "241 errors - name changes too fast..."

 Below is the debug log following that MSN error...

 {{{

 (11:19:51) msn: C: NS 000: BLP 5 AL
 (11:19:51) msn: User XXXXX at hotmail.com is on both Allow and Block list;
 removing from Allow list.
 (11:19:51) msn: Passport: XXXXX at hotmail.com, type: 1
 (11:19:51) msn: Didn't find existing domain node, adding one.
 (11:19:51) msn: list_op: 2
 (11:19:51) msn: Sending RML with payload: <ml><d n='hotmail.com'><c
 n='XXXXX' l='2' t='1'/></d></ml>
 (11:19:51) msn: C: NS 000: RML 6 74
 (11:19:51) msn: Passport: XXXXX at hotmail.com, type: 1
 (11:19:51) msn: Didn't find existing domain node, adding one.
 (11:19:51) msn: list_op: 5
 }}}

Comment(by tigerfishdaisy):

 Alright, sure, I'll send it to your @pidgin.im email address.

 Yes, there's a difference between the address book and the membership
 lists, I guess, but there's also ''duplicates'' of some contacts within
 the same list - E.g you may see XXXX at hotmail.com being present in the
 allow list as both an EmailMember and a PassportMember.
