Animated Custom Emoticons
MSN Messenger 7 allows you to send Animated Emoticons. These emoticons are not send using the Animated PNG format (MNG) but using standard Animated GIFs. The MSN Object for such emoticons is exactly the same as normal emoticons.
There is a new header for sending those objects, but it appears MSGR7 will also accept sending those objects in the standard emoticon messages. It is recommended however that you use this new value, seeing as things might still change in the client and we are not certain it will remain working. The new content-type value is text/x-mms-animemoticon.
Note that the animation stops after one loop, so making looping animated gifs is useless, unless the user has their MSN Messenger tweaked to make the images loop forever.

I actually have got a few animated emotes myself but not a very conventional way. Its just a matter of unlocking/adding an option to import them, sending them can already be done with the current protocol through the MSN Servers without any problems...
