#10763: Continuous friendly name reset on MSN
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  EviL               |     Owner:  khc  
     Type:  defect             |    Status:  new  
Component:  MSN                |   Version:  2.5.5
 Keywords:  msn friendly name  |  
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 Since this morning the friendly names are changed automatically.
 Probably MSN protocol has been changed to push them regularly (it happened
 to me twice already, I set the friendly name I want and after a while it
 is reset) from some WindowsLive source or something like that, because the
 same happened to friends with Pidgin or Trillian, or probably anything is
 not Messenger.
 My guess is that servers try to force their names and only Messenger is
 able to ignore those messages when it already has custom friendly names
 manually set by the users.
