 If I have HTML tagged text that I would like to insert directly into a
 conversation or away message to fix the formatting received by other
 clients, I would need to paste the tagged text directly into Pidgin. For
 instance, pasting text copied from a conversation messes with font size
 tags that get put in the new message and a client like meebo, whose
 default font is not 3 as far as I can tell, sees it as much larger than it
 should.

 The best way of doing this that I can think of would probably be some sort
 of "Insert/Edit HTML" menu item or context menu item. Another way would be
 to handle it as the AIM client does: If the text is being pasted (as plain
 text?), insert as HTML. My preference would be an "Edit HTML" menu/context
 menu item.
