MSN contact do not display on Pidgin Fix

This happened to me a few weeks ago, when I tried to add some new contacts, I made the following steps:

1) I made a friend request.

2) they instead of accepting made a friend request also.

3) the result is that we both look off line 🙁

Looks like the problem is that MSN did not recognized Pidgin invite and since MSN sent a request it hangs on receiving the answer, so the only thing that I can recommend on this scenario is to confirm with your contact that they sent the request and make another request from Pidgin, once they accept the second invite you will be able to see each other.

Remember that once you receive a MSN friend request you have to send a Pidgin request, this only happens with a few versions of MSN, but it happens.
