Bug: Displaying names as emoticons

Within the "Friends" section of the latest Windows Live Messenger BETA,
there's this problem, it shows "yahoo:". Well,
it's fine, unless my friends's name is started with a "p", it'll be something
like a "yahooeter..." that makes a "" after the word "yahoo", and it will
be shown as that "tongue emoticon"!

I recon it's because that container is derived from a messenger pane class,
so if a name makes "" it'll be shown as that "big grin" thing.
