Dear Lazyweb: MSN

I am starting to suspect that you cannot send an MSN Messenger IM to someone unless both you and the intended receiver are on each others' contact lists. Is this true?

Poopy. This drops a wedge in part of my Planbeast plans.

I find that I _can_ fire off messages to strangers if I'm using the messenger app on Windows, but that seems to be the only exception so far.
