Milestone:               |    Component:  Yahoo!    
  Version:  2.5.8        |   Resolution:            
 Keywords:  alias yahoo  |

Comment(by theshirt23):

 The results were, as sulabh probably knows, there is an "nn" field in the
 xml sent by Yahoo.  This "nn", short for nickname, is the more recent of
 either the buddy's update to his own "nickname" field in his contact
 details from his own yahoo messenger or our aliasing/nicknaming of that
 buddy.

 Libpurple's response in either case (since they're the same as far as the
 xml is concerned) is to display the alias we set, the local one that is
 stored in blist.xml.
