I may have sounded rude, but that wasn't what I intended. All I tried to do was answering a question which was already answered a few times before. (I might have been a bit irritated at that time because of square87's "Be quite." [be quiet?], which IMO isn't the most polite way to reply to someone who is trying to help you...)
Now for the rest of your post, I think interoperability is a great thing, so I don't disagree with that. The point is, the emotisounds feature as it is now can not be used by programs other than MP!L. I don't know what Patchou's ToDo list for MP!L looks like, but I can imagine that fixing existing bugs and re-adding certain very popular features which existed in MsgPlus! 3 are higher on his list than redesigning a feature which already works to make it compatible with other programs. (not sure about Patchou's point of view, but that's what I'd do)
Don't get me wrong, again I'd love to see this come together in a way that also saves Patchou some bandwidth (I wonder why he did it this way in the first place), but as for now, it's Plus! only.
