Description Maurizio Daniele 2009-04-23 19:50:45 UTC 
In any chat windows (ICQ protocol), user is identified by UIN

Any contact is always identified by Nickname.

I suggest that user must be identified by Nickname too.

Other information:

Does Pidgin properly display such aliases?
Comment 2 Maurizio Daniele 2009-06-25 12:29:52 UTC 
Yes.

For Example: in a chat windows, using Pidgin, my messages are identified by my alias "Maurizio", but using empathy any of the messages started with my UIN.

It's a minor issue, nothing really relevant, it's just that I don't like to see something like "12345678 says: ...." instead of "Maurizio says: ..." or "You says: ..." :)
