Comment:

 I believe that plugin requires Direct IM image support, something that
 pidgin doesn't support for MSN (if the MSN protocol even supports it,
 which I believe it does not for arbitrary images). The plugin could likely
 detect this case and provide a better error message (I'm assuming the
 current error comes from pidgin itself). The plugin could also perhaps
 offer to send the message via normal file transfer in this case, which
 wouldn't be as good but would at least work in slightly more cases.
