Is it possible to see emoticons? by prigrg on 05-30-2004 at 10:49 PM
If you use custom names for your contacts, their emoticons appear just as text. This was the same in 2.54, I was hopin this could be fixed in MP!3, it wasnt. Is it even possible at all?

Your Editing the msnmsgr.exe file I think, and it's illegal to do that

quote:That is something completely irrelevant. The problem here is that when you use custom names, the emoticons in other people's names don't show up. When you don't use it, you see the emoticons.

There's nothing illegal about this, and has also nothing to do with modifying the exe. The problem is that when you use this feature, Plus! replaces the email address with the custom name. Therefore, Messenger will think that it's showing your contact's email address, and as email addresses cannot contain emoticons, it won't show them.
This is considered a limitation and cannot be fixed.
