I think only ICQ clients use ctrl-enter *by default* to send a message. All 
other IM clients I tried use enter to send, even third-party ICQ clients.

What I think would be the best solution is to allow for configuration of 
send/newline key and assign the default acordingly to the expected default 
behavior for *each* protocol. I don't know if its easy/possible to implement 
this feature for each protocol, but this way a user that comes from ICQ would 
get the expected behavior and the same would be true for MSN and IRC. And 
someone who wants it different can change it.

But I'm not so sure having different defaults for different protocols would be 
a good usability feature.
