Comment (by biju):

 I m also having the same problem, i m using pidgin on Linux(FC 5). I have
 done some study on this. I logged in icq 5.1 n one of my buddy(buddy1) is
 logged in icq5.1 and second one(buddy2) is in icq6 and third buddy(buddy3)
 is in pidgin. whenever i try to open the chat box this client is sending a
 packet to the server requesting the status message and server will be
 responding it with an acknowledgement packet followed by custom message
 packet.
      but if i do this operation for a buddy who is in pidgin (buddy3)
 server will give an error packet saying that client doesnt support this
 feature (Aim Me).
      for other two this works fine. but the only difference is the last
 section of the packet, both sends away message, but message flag is not
 set for the data recieving from buddy2. and it is set for buddy1.

 then how the client is able to read remaining data from icq6 client ?
 This may help you in solving the prob

 data from buddy2
