No it is not a bug. A bug is something that goes wrong or something that you didn't anticipated to do.

A limitation is something which you can't work around because it is the way things work.

Remember that Messenger Plus! can't be compared to standalone programs which can do all the things the programmer wants. Messenger Plus! highly depends on MSN Messenger and its objects/controls. If those objects/controls don't allow something, then Patchou can't do anything about it.

If custom names are used, then MSN Messenger is actually showing email adresses. And in email adresses there are no emoticons, so MSN Messenger does not perform the procedure to convert emoticons to actual pictures. The only thing that patchou can do is instead of showing the emailadres, showing another text (thus the custom name); the converting emoticons to pictures, is done by MSN Messenger itself.
