This problem (and several others that were really needing to be fixed) has been resolved and a new version of this plugin is available at the link below. Obviously, it is highly recommended that anyone using this plugin upgrade immediately.

Matias, next time please contact the plugin authors, any of the SquirrelMail mailing lists, SquirrelMail IRC, or other SquirrelMail developers before posting.
