 Replying to [comment:3 datallah]:
 > You're running into a security feature. To prevent performance problems
 rendering large messages (which could be maliciously exploited to bog down
 your system), when displaying messages with greater than 100 html tags,
 the tags are stripped out.


 Very sorry to hear this. We use proprietary jabber clients using Smack, on
 servers to monitor them, and format the replies using HTML. Sometimes the
 replies are quite large and that is ok with us.  Old versions of GAIM did
 not have this security feature, right? As I said in GAIM 1.2 - 2.0, it
 worked ok. It makes Pidgin unusable for me.
 Would it be possible to make a preference setting that lets you disable
 this feature or maybe set the limit number? If not able to add to the core
 preferences, could a plugin be developed to  control (turn off or set the
 limit )this security setting?

 I don't want to give up my Pidgin!!!! :-)
