Gah, ok.
When making a timer with the .net functions (the one you gave teh me), these are added to the message queue (read MSDN if you don't know them, it's the basic of almost every Windows program).
Added to this queue are also clicks with the mouse, actions, menu's, the whole crap. You have to parse those messages, so you can handle them. So, when you do that, the timer function will be called, resulting in a call to my function.
But, if the user doesn't send messages to buddies for say, 15 minutes, my plug-in isn't called the whole time. So isn't my function.
But, if MsgPlus! parses my messages too, that wouldn't be a problem, for MsgPlus! will then have it called. So, does it?
If it's not, I have to make an unending loop to get the results I want, which will probably crash MSN Messenger.
I don't know about the rest of you but that makes absolutley no sense to me.

Are you trying to say you want a timer on your form to run so that your function is constantly called?
