Emoticons in Custom Names-mode by ralphje on 11-29-2004 at 04:38 PM
Hello,
When I'm chatting with an user named (e.g.)
Ralph - tha best 
and I've given the custom name 'Ralph', in chat this appear:
Ralph - tha best says:
blablabla
Is it possible to show the emoticons in the chat? If yes, how? If no, why isn't it build-in?

No, this is not possible. It's a limitation. Simply put, when you use Custom Names, Messenger Plus! uses view by email and it replaces the email address of your contacts with your custom names for them. Because Messenger knows email addresses cannot contain emoticons, they won't be displayed.
