I tried and couldn't see emoticons on any pop up (comes online, changes name, changes nick, goes offine), except for the window opened notifier of StuffPlug NG. That pop up doesn't show the custom name but the real display name.

why does MSGplus also overrule the standard way of MSN to show names (with emoticons in the chat windows), when it's not needed?
My thought would be that you can't just change this for one part of Messenger, but have to enable a certain mode (e.g. sort by email) for Messenger as a whole.
