so i'm used to msn messenger on windows. i dont know what its called, but you can have your main screenname and an extra one. most people put what song they're playing in their extra one, or elaborate their status ("gone.. call cell" type stuff).

anyway, i cant find any mac-friendly versions of msn messenger that include this. i know it shouldnt be a big deal but its seriously annoying to me.

dyou know if any versions offer that? i downloaded aMSN and i wasnt pleased. im keeping it only for the isight thing.

I have Adium set up - so that it displays a contact's display name (the one you are talking about) when I hold my cursor over each name.
It shows their Name, Email Address, Display Name (in smaller text) as well as a larger version of their pic / icon.
