Hello, Pidgin is not adding Hotmail users. Is there an update to
fix this error?
Depends on what version of Pidgin you are running! There is no
known problem on 2.7.9.
Actually, it's been reported a number of times here, in IRC, and in
the bug tracker. See, for example:
http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/13298
http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/13289
Ah. If the actual error message had been given, it might have rung a
bell. I wonder if this is the same basic problem as the buddies don't
appear online problem.
Unfortunately both tickets have sanitised the user name, and I rather
suspect it is some non-ASCII character in the username that is
triggering problem, as most reporters seem to be from non-ASCII countries.
So far as I know, we don't know why it's happening. It doesn't happen
to everyone.

Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
