Comment(by andr909):

 Replying to [comment:2 rekkanoryo]:
 > This is not an MSN issue and has nothing to do with separators.

 The format "msn/somename @ hotmail.fr" is a valid email address, if the 2
 spaces are removed.[[BR]]
 So using an "msn/" prefix for MSN addresses in Pidgin will produce an
 error for such addresses, even if this bug did not exist.[[BR]]
 So the separator in the prefix should be changed, if a prefix must be
 used.  It seems that ".." is the only available separator in the ASCII
 range.
