No, that doesn't work. This only disables the display of emoticons on your side, your contact will still see the emoticons if he has the "show emoticons" option enabled.

Not true at all. This command will only work if your contact has Messenger Plus! installed. What it does is put a special character in front of your message and when your contact receives it and he has Plus! installed, he will see ":)" instead of "". If your contact doesn't have Messenger Plus!, he will see a special symbol followed by your message and will see the emoticons.

Using the /noicon command would 'hide' every emoticon (including custom emoticons) in the message, which is not what Unrealshade wants.

As far as I know, there is no plug-in/script/option which does exactly you want.

StuffPlug 3 doesn't have a feature to turn off the default MSN emoticons but it does have a feature to override the default emoticons with custom emoticons. It can only override the default emoticons with other custom emoticons, but it can't disable them (i.e. display the code instead of the image).

The only option I can think of at the moment to "disable" MSN's standard emoticons would involve installing StuffPlug 3:
You could use Photoshop/Paint to create custom emoticons consisting of the emoticon codes, i.e. gifs (with a transparent background) that look like :) and :( and all the other default emoticons.
Then you could use StuffPlug and set the default MSN emoticon codes to use those custom emoticons.
