Comment (by notak):

 What rocks:
 - This patch builds against the Pidgin MSNP14 branch just fine for me
 - Handwritten pictures sent from conversations get received and displayed
 - The old patch had preference checks that were just plain wrong, and the
 latest patch doesn't

 What sucks:
 - Nobody is on MSN, or they don't have a microphone or the journal viewer
 software installed, so I haven't been able to test that the following
 still work:
 - Handwritten messages from chats (they get sent completely differently -
 go figure)
 - Voice clips
 - Winks (I'm fairly certain these are okay - we're certainly fetching them
 but I had the prefs check backwards so I wasn't actually attempting to
 show them)
 - I no longer use win32, and even if I was willing to reboot cygwin has
 gone totally fubar on me, so I don't know if the pidgin changes to the win
 build stuff are correct or not

 What I'd like to be different:
 - The voice clips just play once and then disappear into the ether. MSN
 client provides a handy link in the conversation window to play them
 again. We don't have the code to do that, and when somebody suggested it
 for file transfers the other day it went down very badly indeed. It makes
 more sense here since the voice clip is obviously part of the
 conversation, and would probably not be that difficult since you'd just
 put a hook into the URL handler code to handle a protocol like
 voiceclip:// internally in pidgin instead of going to a browser. I fear
 the wrath of various developers if it was attempted however, and I'm
 pretty short of time to implement stuff right now.
