AIM extended smileys

[thebadgermobile]

Is there anyway to choose one of the AIM extended smiley sets to use? I've always used the "Bear" or "Frog" set in AIM 5.5, but now with Pidgin, I can't. More importantly, it's imperative that AIM users be able to see the Bear or Frog, since my friends use the regular AIM client.

Since the AIM extended smileys are sent just by <font sml="nameOfSet">:-)</font>, is there anyway to set this up in Pidgin? What about an existing plugin?

According to this archived post what you are mentioning has already been shot down (aka not replied to until they closed the sf.net tracker). i'm not aware of any pidgin plugins that provide the feature you're looking for. sorry.
