Hello,

When I add a contact in MSN and the contact later adds me I get a dialog asking me for authorization. This dialog has a checkbox for "add contact to my contact list". Can someone explain to me what it is for exactly? I have a hunch but I'm not quite sure. Why does it appear if the contact is already in my contact list - if I added it. I always forget to check it as nothing in the message refers to it and there's a big, flashing "Authorize" button (I think it's authorize, not sure). And then I always think "damn, forgot to check it". I lost the address of a friend because he added me, I didn't check the checkbox and now I can't see him. I'm hoping he'll come and talk to me sometime... Shouldn't the checkbox be checked by default?

Thank you!

what it's for?
well you've said it yourself:

I lost the address of a friend because he added me, I didn't check the checkbox and now I can't see him.

People who want to add you that you haven't added yet.

If you have that person on your list, it's true, it's obsolete.
Having it always checked would be an option. I for one would hate it.
To post a suggestion, use trac: http://trac.adiumx.com (first check if someone else hasn't done it yet) And please already add this should be a user-option. otherwise I have to file a new ticket asking to make it an option
