Cant see custom emoticons in upgraded messenger but recipients can

I have just updated my messenger to the latest version of Windows Live
Messenger (I was using an old version of MSN messenger beta before). I have
a lot of custom emots; these are still appearing on my emot list, and when I
use them the person I am sending messages to can see them, however I can't -
all I see is a blank space!

I have heard of this happening to other people but just cannot find out what
the problem is or how to solve it. Can someone please help, its driving me
mad!!
Thanks :-)

Hi Ducatidiva!

This is a bug in the beta and will be fixed for final. Thank you for your
feedback!

Does this mean there will be no fix for this until WLM 9 final? No new
beta version with a fix for this very annoying bug?
If so, that's a disappointment. :-(
