Using custom emoticons

On MSN, Adium supports receiving and displaying custom emoticons used by other users, in addition to the text-based emoticons that are mapped to images through your installed emoticon packs.

Adium doesn't currently support sending custom emoticons. Once LibPurple supports it, we'll add support on our end, but we don't know when that will be.

If you'd like to save a custom emoticon received from somebody else, right-click on it and choose “Save Image As”, then save the file somewhere. This is of limited usefulness, since you can't send it to somebody yet, but you can keep the image file around so you can use it after we add that feature.
