I'm afraid you're mistaken though, because Like I said before, individual frames are not saved.

Messenger Plus! saves emoticons (or, for that matter, any other graphic encountered in a chat, like winks, handwritten messages, etc) as PNGs, hence only the first frame is saved.

I hate to disagree Cookie, but that seems not to be the case...not exactly anyway . From my observations, one frame of the gif gets saved as a PNG when the log gets written, however which frame this is seems to differ a large amount of the time (saved frame is the one visible in the window perhaps? I'm not sure...)

Thus if you use the same emoticon a few times, eventually you most likely will end up having all the frames saved as PNGs and can therefore recreate it in gif form
