#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...
