Comment (by elb):

 Replying to [comment:15 I4ko]:
 > 1. The fix that Elb implemented does not work for me. I've tested with
 2.0.1 patched and 2.0.2. However this is under linux and I compiled from
 sources. I cannot be quite sure since the system is NLD9 and is quite
 broken by itself. I'll test the official windows build this evening.

 Does it not work any better than what was in before at all, or does it fix
 some things, but not everything, or what?

 > Btw what is the proper name for *1251, is it CP1251, CP-1251, or
 windows-1251, iconv seems to understand CP1251. This is because I've tried
 changing the UTF-8 in the oscar protocol encoding to 1251, but still no
 luck, so I'm back to UTF-8.

 There is no proper name, it is a nonstandard encoding.  Use whatever works
 with your iconv.  Note that for the changes I committed to have any
 effect, you _must_ have your encoding set to CPwhatever.

 > 2. The offline messages still behave the same, but they were not
 discussed, right?

 I don't know; if they were similarly broken, they should have been fixed.
 If they are not, they wouldn't be.
