 Hi,

 Some weird behaviour on Pidgin 2.7.10 (Windows XP/Vista): whenever I try
 to add an MSN user, I get the following message:


 "Impossible d'ajouter le contact mycontact at mydomain.com car son nom
 d'utilisateur est non valide. Les noms des contacts doivent être une
 adresse électronique valide."

 (impossible to add contact mycontact at mydomain.com because the user name is
 invalid. The name of contacts must be valid email addresses).

 I am 100% positively sure that my contact exists (I created and configured
 the account on his behalf), however I can't add him in my contact list -
 and he can't add me to his, either (I installed Pidgin on his computer).

 Is this a known issue? There's no bug report about that yet, as far as
 I've searched.
