No Problem!
The only contacts this applies to are one's that do NOT have Plus! If they have Plus! installed then I see what ever emoticon they have put in their display. If a contact does not have Plus! and they put say a
next to their name then I see BOTH the
&
.
I do not believe that I have any plugins or other add ins for messenger.
As you will see in the screen shot, he doesn't have anything next to his name when I first want to talk to him, but then after that the
shows up.
P.S. The person I am talking to does not see the
next to their name.
