We don't currently support MSN buddy icons, however we have all the  
support infrastructure there to add that feature since we support buddy  
icons on AIM.

There's a feature request for this here:

[ 832575 ] MSN: Buddy Picture
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? 
func=detail&aid=832575&group_id=33772&atid=409173

 From Mark's last comment in the feature request:

Any help that can be offered for this would be most appreciated -- MSN  
display pictures are dealt with via a different protocol from
the standard MSN things.  This would be a lot of work to implement.  On  
the plus side, custom emoticons and file transfers behind NAT would be  
more or less "free" once this is implemented.

This is something that I plan to look into in the future.
