Comment (by jeff):

 Pidgin in MTN no longer spews the text markup errors, and in fact sets the
 status string to HTML, and displays it as HTML. But this is wrong:
 MySpaceIM doesn't use HTML. And though it conceivably could, it doesn't
 use MySpaceIM-markup, either. Setting away message to '''test''' shows in
 the official client's buddy list as Away: <b>test</b>. Should strip
 formatting and send as plaintext.
