 Every time I add a new buddy and they add me I hover my mouse over their
 name, and it says "Has you: No". I've logged into the official client for
 MSN and this problem isn't present. It also seems to be present on other
 third party clients as well, aMSN seems to do it too. Contacts already on
 my list are not effected but if a contact was to remove me and then re-add
 me, the problem would re-occur.

 directly after removing. Please note, that in order to the "Has you"
 status being updated, you have to log out and in again to MSN. "Has you"
 is only updated during login.

 I didn't do all these steps but when I freshly installed my Windiws Live.
 My contact which is my own account (I added my own account in Pidgin ages
 ago) Shows up on both the "Allow List" and the "See who has added you to
 their contact list". But on Pidgin it shows "Has you: No". I've checked
 twice...
