Or is there some reason why that cannot be done (I presume there is otherwise it would've been done in the first place)
Windows Live Messenger itself already uses Ctrl+I. Whatever happens when you press Ctrl+I is done by Live Messenger itself, not by Messenger Plus!. Since Microsoft has already taken Ctrl+I Patchou just took Ctrl+T, T being the second character in italic :).

To add do that I would say Plus! inconsistent in how it shows text has been formatted. When I pressed ctrl+t, vertical bars appeared either side of the text to show it had been formatted. This is not the case when you format text using bold or underline. I notice strikeout gets vertical bars next to it. Why don't bold and underline get something?
What you press Ctrl+B / Ctrl+U / Ctrl+T / etc. Plus! will insert a special character, how this character is displayed depends on the font you're using, Plus! can't control this. I believe Plus! tries to use characters which won't display anything in most fonts so it won't look weird to people who don't use Plus! and receive the messages.
Finish the problem
