 On my Windows Live client I can set my display name at 130 characters but
 when I use Pidgin I can set my display name to only about 30-40 characters
 for international languages. I try to use Wireshark to sniff communication
 and I found that Pidgin use url encoding with my display name but Windows
 Live Messenger send UTF-8 without url encoding

 I have already show this problems in aMSN forums
 http://www.amsn-project.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=32145 . It is in both
 aMSN and Pidgin.

 PS.Sorry for my bad english.

 Thanks
