Comment:

 Hmm... while looking on this I moved the long quote into the status
 message...
 The motive for using the status title that way was to avoid an auto-answer
 every time someone messages me. I thought the '''status message'''works
 like this and moved the message to the title.

 Today I contacted a friend to see what really happens and realized that he
 doesn't see message nor title when using the ICQ Client as well as another
 unidentified windows IM Client...

 Hmmm I will have to learn more about the behaviour of status titles and
 messages to see what went wrong here.

 Anyway... I think generally truncating status titles would avoid the
 scenario I made created this ticket for and take a step in the direction
 to making pidgin "idiot-proof" ;-)
