#5350: Encoding message errors look like normal messages
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  VF            |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new           |   Priority:  minor 
Component:  pidgin (gtk)  |    Version:  2.4.0 
 Keywords:                |    Pending:  0     
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 I was chatting with someone (both ends using pidgin) and they recieved the
 error "(THere was an error receiving this message. Either you and SN have
 different encodings selected, or SN has a buggy client.)"

 Since the error message was presented in the normal message text area and
 not clearly marked, the user thought it was a normal IM and not an error
 message on their end. Pidgin should be more clear about what is and isn't
 an error message. Screenshot of the issue attached.
