Could you try searching the forums? You'd find StuffPlug-NG then.

If you download htt://www.stuffplug.com and get a validation key from the installer using http://www.stuffplug.com/?act=generate you can then make bigger emoticons

StuffPlug just lets you see big emoticons, not the person your sending them too. I think he means how do you make big emoticons work in MSN Messenger.
Like when you make big emoticons on paint (or other program) and them upload them onto MSN Messenger, it resizes them.

If you have Spng installed and configured (splash screen after installing or from conversationwindow: plus > plugins > stuffplug-NG > options/configuration) to allow bigger emotes it will ask you if you wanna keep the original size

I'm sorry to post to such an old topic. This thread is one of the top hits on google for the topic, and I think it deserves a good answer.
The maximum size of normal MSN emoticons (without plugins or addons) is 50x50 pixels. To get the maximum size, your emoticon has to be an animated gif file. This means that even emoticons that don't look like animations have to have at least two frames, even if the frames are identical.
If the emoticons is not in the correct format, MSN will shrink it to a measly 19x19 pixels.
Luckily, there are tools that do the work for you, and they are a lot quicker than going through the motions in Photoshop.
I recommend http://www.emoticonize.com.
If you want to do it by hand in a paint program and you have a picture that is not animated, you might end up in trouble. Many animation tools "optimize" the identical frames away, leaving only one frame. MSN doesn't like that. You could try changing one pixel to a slightly different color, if you can't turn the optimization feature off.
