Comment(by boundlessness):

 ... still happening as of version 2.5.5 that I downloaded from here:

 Pidgin Portable[[BR]]
 http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/pidgin_portable

 And I am rather embarrassed because I tracked this one user down that kept
 reappearing for buddy authorization and left rather pointed, even impolite
 messages on his myspace and directly in his e-mail box!

 Fortunately, I have not received any direct communication from this
 user... but he sure has a little something to complain about *sad face* to
 Hotmail if he so chose to. And all this started from was a spam-mass-
 invite he obviously sent out at some point.

 I am very thankful Pidgin handles the MSN chat now... before, it would
 crash like Gaim did... so I was forced to install MSN Live to contact
 those folks on my list over there. This is truly a multi-client chat
 program that has come into its own... and I look forward to this one
 last(?) annoying +glitch+ to fade away into the obscurity of the
 "changelog". Speaking of which, I was looking that over and found this
 little gem - and I could not help but curse!

 * Pidgin Changelog [excerpt][[BR]]
 version 0.54 (03/14/2002):[[BR]]
 Prompt to authorize MSN buddies who added you while you were offline
 (Thanks Jason Willis)
