# Introduction

It is a Notification Server command, without a request or response payload.

Sets a buddy's property in your cache to a specified value.

For the command this replaced, read REA.

# Client/Request

Where contact-id is the C= value from either ADD or LST.
If you are using ABCHMigrated: 0, this is the contact's user handle.
If you are instead using ABCHMigrated: 1, this is the contact's GUID.

Where property are any of the values:

• MFN: My Friendly Name
• MOB: User can contact me via MSN Mobile, changed by the Client Capability.
• WWE: User can contact me via MSN Direct, changed by the Client Capability.
• PHM: MSNP11+: The user's mobile phone number.
• HSB: MSNP11+: Has blog, changed by the Client Capability.
• MNI: MSNP11+: Mobile Network Interoperability, set during a LKP migration in MSNP12+.

Where value is the URL-encoded value to set the related property to.

Where assign-as-mobile is set to 1 if setting the property of PHM via the Add mobile number to contact dialog, or when setting a MNI's user handle.
