 Hello!

 I was trying to login to MSN but gets a "Unable to authenticate" error. It
 all works well with AMSN though, so this seems to be a Pidgin related bug.

 I have recently changed my password. It contains of 19 characters,
 capitalized and lower-case letters, along with special characters and
 numbers.

 I did see other topics [http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/4066] about
 similar problems, but the ticket say it's fixed and the patch to be
 already applied to the source.

 Yet I seem to have a problem with the authentication. It refuses to login
 using my new password.

 GDB gave me nothing special on the output either.

 Is there a permanent fix in the works already, or perhaps a patch that I
 can apply for it to work with Pidgin 2.3.1?

 Thanks in advance!
