If I`m not mistaken, just going in the Windows Live Messenger features will allow you to disable to see emoticons.. Of course that would mean that you will not be able to see it in the conversation text either, but at least, your friend will.
Yeah, I'm aware that I can disable them altogether, but as I pointed out in previous posts I *like* emoticons and use them a lot.
