MSN Client that supports custom emoticons


Happy New Year to All on LQ

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.

Does amsn defiantly support it and if so is there an alternative as I always found AMSN to be unstable and unsightly. Thanks a lot though.

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

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 supports receiving custom emoticons

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.
