The second msn-p13-merge-head.diff.gz from SF Patch #162854 from Ka-Hing Cheung. "A little late, but here is a version that should remember your friendly name. Also has a fix for a crasher when MSN sends you back: <faultstring>Need to do full sync. Can't sync deltas Client has too old a copy for us to do a delta sync</faultstring> In this case, I make gaim re-request the full contact list/address book. I haven't look too deeply into the reverse list problem, but I think the solution would involve caching the reverse list, which may require extending the privacy api."
