#4978: Importing group names from OSCAR server uses wrong encoding
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  ari        |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new        |   Priority:  minor 
Component:  libpurple  |    Version:  2.3.1

 From Debian bug report http://bugs.debian.org/468572:

 During server-side buddylist import over OSCAR, libpurple converts all
 group names from the local encoding (CP1250 in my case) to UTF-8.
 However, all ICQ clients - Pidgin included! - save those names in UTF-8.
 I am sending a patch that changes the behavior to first check if the
 group name is valid UTF-8; use it if it is, and convert it if it is not.

 Attached is the patch from "Blue Beret".
