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?

i would also like to know if its possible is there anyone who could help

Thats Kinda Like Putting Pictures From ur computer in MSN i dont think it will ever be possible to do that and if it was it would be illegal and that would never be in Plus!

how would it be illegal

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

oh ok i get it now

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.
