Is there any MSN clients that will support this feature. People keep sending my their custom icons and I would really like to see them and send them some of my own. The best thing would be a plugin for gaim but if not anything else will do.
http://gaim.sf.net GAIM will support custom 'emoticons' and will also support multiple protocols including AIM/ICQ, Yahoo, Jabber, and some others. Also it is very stable for me. They also provide prebuilt packages for many Distributions including Mandrake 10.0
Kopete ( http://kopete.sf.net ) supports both emoticon themes, and custom emoticons, at least in the version that ships with KDE 3.3. It is multi protocol and integrates nicely into KDE.
I used to use KDE until I discovered gaim. I find gamin the best of the lot but it doesn't support custom emoticions. i.e. if a friend sends me one they made it will not appear. Is there a plugin that will help me?
Gaim now supports custom emoticons (using v2.0.0.beta3.1), but it doesn't seem to display the 'alternate text' like MSN does.
Also, i can't seem to find a way to send custom emoticons.

Reason: forgot to mention which Gaim version
