yahoo buddies in msn account don't appear

Asked by Normand Bédard

Binary package hint: pidgin

--Software--
Ubuntu 8.10 x64
Pidgin 2.5.2

--Description--
I have a MSN account. In this account, I have MSN buddies AND yahoo buddies. On MSN Messenger and on some linux chat clients, yahoo buddies appear in my contact list (and I can talk with them).

On Pidgin, my yahoo buddies don't appear in my contact list et I cannot talk to them.

I DO NOT HAVE A YAHOO ACCOUNT, and I am not interested to create one to talk on pidgin.

Since it's a "new" feature on Microsoft MSN Messenger (talking with yahoo buddies), is it a future feature to be added ?
