 Several people, in an attempt to keep their IM contacts simple, have used
 their Yahoo E-mail address to create .NET/Live Passport (MSN account).

 Testing out the latest MSNP14 build shows that this type of contact will
 show offline.

 Example:
 - Yahoo ID: test
 - MSN "ID": test at yahoo.com

 "Test" person logs on MSN but I (online with Pidgin with main at yahoo.com on
 both MSN and Yahoo) can only see the Yahoo contact as "online", while the
 MSN contact appears "offline"

 I tried to reproduce. And, as a matter of fact, adding a new
 test2 at yahoo.com using WLM - showing up 2 contacts, one Yahoo, one MSN -
 then logging on with Pidgin, shows only one new MSN contact as
 test2 at yahoo.com.

 This also has another outcome - logged only on MSN with Pidgin, my Yahoo
 contacts see me as offline.

 It looks as if Pidgin disregards the Yahoo Contacts received through the
 MSNP14 protocol.
