MSN Instant Messenger
Summary: MSN Messenger emoticons may stop working for you even though your friends may still be able to see them. Here is a straightforward solution to that problem.
Emoticons stopped working for me in MSN Messenger ... but my friends see them just fine. Why?
I'd simply check the emoticon option: Tools, Options, Messages tab, and make sure the emoticons options are checked.
