Comment (by datallah):

 Replying to [comment:3 tmus]:
 > Also - Regarding the privacy invading nature of this, how is it not a
 privacy issue if I can retrieve all your custom icons, perhaps intended
 only for a select few people, without you sending them to me? Arguably
 this is really a problem on the other (the official client) end, but there
 is no reason why we should do this.

 That isn't how custom emoticons work.  The sender has to actually tell you
 what is a custom icon, you can't just start using random text and have it
 interpreted as one of the buddies custom emoticons that you haven't been
 told about.

 It looks to me like this is another reason why custom emoticons shouldn't
 exist :D.
