MSN messenger question

As far as I'm aware, you don't need a h0tmail address to use MSN messenger providing you've signed up for, and verified a .NET passport, is this correct? The only reason for me mentioning it, is that I don't use my h0tmail address and would prefer to sign in with my yah00 email address, which is my main email address. I think I've managed to get it to work, I can sign in ok with it...I've added some contacts, though only their email address shows on the screen, I'm presuming when they sign in again, it will show their display name? Hope this makes sense! Andy.
