Hi.....i'm realtively new to MSN Messenger 5.0 and have been looking around for an option to rename my contacts.........but cannot find one.

Is there anyone out there who knows how to rename a particular contact according to what name you want to appear on the list of contacts.

Thanks,

I don't know if you can do that or not.. when you see "joe blow has just signed in" there is a change button you can click, that might allow you to do something.. not sure.

It would be nice however to have this feature, I have a couple of people with the same name on my list and I have to look at their e-mail addree to figure out which is which

This is a feature that has been requested many times. Maybe MS will include it in a future version, but at this time, you can't do this.

Isn't this one of those features that should be mandatory? Heck, even BitWise Chat supports that... not that I would know anything about that, of course. ;)

Why a service would allow multiple names the same and then not give a way to differentiate them is beyond me.
