How can I have multiline nicknames again?

Halfway November 2003, Microsoft blocked certain characters from being used in your MSN Messenger name, including one that allowed you to create multiline nicknames easily. If you want your nickname to consist of multiple lines, you'll have to download the latest version of the Messenger Plus! addon.

1) Open a conversation window
2) Type /nick followed by a space and then your desired nickname, using [SHIFT]+[ENTER] to insert line breaks.
3) Press enter and your nickname will change.

I've got a simple way for "the hard enter"
I've made a little piece of code that makes it possible to make multiline nicknames from your personal settings.
I make one of every msn version in dutch but I've got a 6.1.0.207 msgslang.dll english version:
http://www.skynet.be/burningbob/Multimsgslang-6.1.0.207{ENG}.zip
to download it.
It's a zip file but there is a readme included.
I haven't got an installer yet but I hope to find a program for that soon.
