Aliases do not appear in the contact list for MSN users. Only their e-mail addresses (User Names) appear. For my ICQ users however, the names appear in the Alias (User Name) format as I have chosen.
Oh wow, thank you so much. I feel like an idiot. I did go to that site before posting my topic, I just searched for "alias" and "nicknames" and not "display names"... Thanks a bunch!
