 Some more info from [http://code.google.com/p/msnp-
 sharp/issues/detail?id=97 msnp-sharp]:
 {{{
 1. The email address is anyyahoouser at yahoo.com.TR
 2. Send a FQY command whether this user a yahoo user:
     <ml><d n="yahoo.com.TR"><c n="anyyahoouser" /></d></ml>
 3. You will receive a response, see actual attribute:
     <ml><d n="yahoo.com.TR"><c n="anyyahoouser" t="32"
 actual="anyyahoouser at yahoo.com" />
 4. "t" is type (optional), if this attribute exists, this is a real yahoo
 user. "actual" (optional) is real yahoo! messenger address to add.
   4.1 Add actual address if the field exists, otherwise add <d> and <c>
   4.2 Add also original address as other mail (but not messenger) as
 ContactEmailTypeType.ContactEmailOther.
 }}}

 I'm not sure if we can handle this properly just yet. We pretty much
 ignore !ContactEmailOther as far as I know, and auto-switching to the
 "actual" address might be bad as we use it as the buddy in purple (i.e.
 for log directories, merging, other core stuff).
