Open Outlook Express. Compose a little email, remembering to fill in the address field. Now press ctrl-enter. The email has been sent.
Now, I'm not expert in Windows application development, but I'd say that if Microsoft decide you can use ctrl-enter to invoke something, or send something, then it's OK to do so, from a convention standpoint.
*sigh*

Only when there is no need for multilines, (like in the address bar) then Ctrl-Enter may have the same function as Enter...

I dunno what kind of keyboard you have, but in the worst case I only need to move my keyboard 10cm to be in a very very confortable position to use the arrow keys and the mouse....

That ability exists since games were first made back in the 80's.... Even very big, heavly graphic games have that ability. (not all of course, but many many have)...

Plus! doesn't touch the protocol...
Look, you can argue all you want.... The way Ctrl-Enter and Enter works is VERY consistent in all Windows apps and you can ask any developer how it is implemented. And comparing messenger+msgplus to standarized UI is useless cause you're comparing two different things. Messenger+MsgPlus is adding more
features to Messenger
while conserving the standard Windows UI....
