#4268: MSN animations/icons occur inside the nickname too...

The MSN people often use various types of "bling" in their messages. They
create these shortcut tings, so that (as an example) typing an "i" in a
message will actually show a flaming candle or something. Now if I chat
with an MSN contact who has configured a number of these shortcuts and I,
in pidgin, assign him an alias with one of his own shortcuts occurring in
that alias, the icon/animation will actually be shown as part of the
nickname. I don't believe that this is intended. It's basically a privacy
thing too, since I can probably trigger a complete leeching of all his
icons by changing the alias in a few careful ways...
