 Pidgin can send files using Yahoo messenger file transfer, but can't
 receive. It seems that Yahoo checks out the client at the other end and
 doesn't allow sending - the button is disabled.

 Is this bug caused by a change in the protocol, that Pidgin has not yet
 implemented, or (as is more likely, I think :) ), the official client
 sends some sort of identification, which Pidgin doesn't send?

 Couldn't Pidgin ''spoof'' the YM! user agent? Or do the Yahoo terms of
 service prohibit this?

 Very, very, important, and very useful, considering YM! allows sending
 files up to '''1GB''' now.

 I think affects all libpurple based clients, but I'm not sure how to tag
 the bug. I'll leave it just for Pidgin.
