You can make an Alias and it will show that instead, but unfourtunatly, Adium can't show MSN Status Names or anything like that yet.

i've tried that, but it only changes the names in the contact-list, not in messege-windows...

Close and reopen the window.

Also, it only works in certain messageview styles.

You should tell us which one you’re using instead ;)

My Terminal Message Style doesn’t; I think it’s closer to the actual prompt that way.
