Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
In my custom pack, I have an emoticon that replaces 'lol'. Unfortunately, it also replaces the 'lol' in people's names in the conversation window. This shouldn't be by design, if it is, there needs to be a way to fix it.

I believe this behavior is the exact same in Windows MSN.... It basically allows people to put icons in there nickname, how else would you expect people to add icons to there name?
