Why are contact names reset to email addresses in distribution lists?

This occurs because of a limitation of the way names of contacts that belong to distribution lists are stored by Windows Live. If you save a member as a contact, the individual contact card is saved with the appropriate contact name, but in the distribution list the name field is replaced with the email address of that contact.
