i have two friends who some how now appear twice in my contact list - if i
delete one entry both disappear and similarly if i re add the contacts they
appear twice in the list.. same hotmail address / ID etc as each other. Does
this sound familiar to anyone at all. it is really rather irritating.. any
solutions - other than making my friends create new accounts!

Greetings,

Which version of Messenger are you using?
