Removing address Book Integration

Hey,

I have aliases for most of my MSN contacts in Adium 1.3. However, there are some that I don't have aliases for, as I want their display names showing. This was fine up until 1.3. Now, one of my contacts without an alias shows as their name in Address Book - it's matching by email, I suppose. I'd much rather have it use either an alias or display name, not an address book name.

Can this be done?

Thanks in advance!

Right click a user --> Show Info --> Alias

That just allows me to assign an alias, I'm looking for a way to remove the Address Book name integration and have their own display name show.

Thanks for the response.

Doesn't changing the settings in Preferences → Advanced → Address Book work for you?

Absolutely didn't see that! Why I didn't do the usual settings crawl, I don't know.

Thanks!
