Manage Contacts>Properties does not allow renaming contact

Currently some of the contacts in All Contacts have meaningful names like
Bill, or Sue or Peter, while others simply display meaningless email
addresses. How can I change such meaningless email addresses to something
meaningful like that person's first name?

Greetings Peter,

Actually Messenger has never had a renaming contact capability-- the only way to add this is
using Messenger Plus (http://www.msgplus.net) *AND* using MSN Messenger (Windows Messenger
won't allow you to do this).

OK, but I just double checked my "All Contacts" list and some contacts are
first name only, some first and last name, and some are just the person's
email address, without a name. Where does Windows Messenger get the names
to display in its Contacts List?

Well that explains it. Many thanks for the reply.
