I dont think so. If this feature is not enabled is just because developers are not interested in it.
Saving animated gif emoticons as static png is actually more complicated than to just save the gif emoticons unchanged (animated).
Think about your IM client as an Internet browser. As you know, everything that is displayed on your screen is there because it has been downloaded from a server, and thus it can be saved.
Other IM clients are saving animated gif emoticons in their logs, though not perfectly yet. Check emesene.org or miranda-im.org. They are open source and more importantly, they can be portable, which is something Messeger Plus so far can't.
So the question is, are the developers going to leak some trick about how to save animated emoticons in logs, or are they waiting to see how a bunch of users lswitch to other options like emesene, Miranda...?
