 Hi,

 try it out yourself: use the most recent version of Miranda IM (0.8.9) and
 send yourself a message via ICQ.

 pidgin version: 2.6.2/2.6.3

 The message will not arrive, while communication from pidgin to miranda
 works the other way round just damn fine.

 Here's the debuglog:

 {{{
 (14:52:45) psychic: not available, doing nothing
 (14:52:50) oscar: incomingim_ch1: unknown TLV 0x0013 (len 1)
 (14:52:50) oscar: Received IM from ${number} with 1 parts
 (14:52:50) oscar: Parsing IM part, charset=0x0003, charsubset=0x0000,
 datalen=3
 (14:52:55) psychic: not available, doing nothing
 }}}

 I triggered the psychic events on purpose so to ensure the debug output is
 event-related. Unfortunately I dont see anything trivial in particular, so
 it's up to you to dig down a bit. This suddenly happened (without updating
 pidgin), thus I guess it#s a change of the oscar protocol or it might even
 be mirandas fault (which I am not sure of). regards, Patrick
