 Hello, reporting this as a non-pidgin user who is on the annoying end of
 this bug.

 When ever I sign in to a second location using the Windows Live Messenger
 beta, a random selection of my contacts who are using the Pidgin client IM
 me, thinking I've sent them some kind of invite to a chat session.
 Obviously I have not, I'm just signing in to two PC's.

 Pidgin doesn't need to start supporting this feature yet of course, but it
 should correctly detect whatever this message is and gracefully ignore it
 rather than misinterperate it as older versions of the official client or
 Trillian do.

 This happens almost every time if a Pidgin using contact is signed in. As
 far as I know, my contacts are all on the most recent version of Pidgin.
