#5307: Kopete AIM messages produce error in 2.4.x

    Type:  defect  |      Status:  new                  
Priority:  minor   |   Component:  AIM                  
 Version:  2.4.0   |    Keywords:  encoding error kopete
 Pending:  0       |  
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
 Ever since 2.4 was released, I regularly receive messages from people that
 they couldn’t read what I wrote to them.

 The error message is the following:

 (There was an error receiving this message.  Either you and {username}
 have different encodings selected, or {username} has a buggy client.)

 It also does this on plain ASCII messages, which is pretty much common
 across every single encoding used today, except for EBCDIC — but I’m on a
 PC, so EBCDIC doesn’t even come into the issue.  So yeah, I don’t really
 see how there could be encoding problems in ASCII.

 Since this worked until and not including 2.4.0, and Kopete hasn’t changed
 in a while…

 If Kopete is broken (not unlikely) — try to work around this, it will be a
 while until they make the one for KDE4 usable.
