#3177: Bad encoding of Away message in popup "Buddy Information"
-----------------------------------------+----------------------------------
 Reporter:  rkrell                       |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new                          |   Priority:  minor 
Component:  pidgin (gtk)                 |    Version:  2.1.1 
 Keywords:  buddy Away message encoding  |    Pending:  0     
-----------------------------------------+----------------------------------
 I got some encoding problems with the Away messages of several czech users
 in the Buddy information popup:
 In the buddy list, I see the right information, for instance:
 "Uživatel je právě Dočasně pryč." (I hope you see the characters in UTF-8)
 If I retrieve the buddy information over the "Get info" context menu, the
 Away message is now:
 "Uživatel je právě Dočasně pryč." (independently of what you see on
 your side - it's different, with wrong characters).

 The buddy concerned by this uses a standard ICQ client (ICQ 5 or 6).
 "Get AIM Info" returns among other:
 Capabilities: Send File, ICQ Direct Connect, ICQ RTF, ICQ Server Relay,
 ICQ UTF8

 My system:
 - OpenSuSE 10.3 Beta 3
 - RPMs that may have influence:
  pidgin-2.1.1-4
  libpurple-2.1.1-4
  gtk2-2.11.6-26
  gconf2-2.19.1-26
  ... (ask for more)
