no emoticons I'm using custom contact names and I've also ticked the option "Attach Orignal Name" in my preferences. Sadly, the attached original name doesn't display emoticon. I hope Patchou will be able to fix this in the next version.
Contact List Clean up Bug When someone adds you and you don't see the person online yet, the contact list clean up window will show the person who added you as not online for the number of days you installed Msg Plus (I think). Mine showed 45 days
