 Fixed in e86a2edf1a808d62825fa1e6109ead33f72982d6 and
 ce1e2f95d94016f0d80e1803674712b9559b70d5.  libpurple now sends and
 receives HTML over ICQ.

 This is a pretty widespread problem: [[BR]]

 It's still not entirely clear to me whether there's a bug in iChat...
 [[BR]]
 I believe they should be setting the 0x400 flag in SNAC 0x0004/0x0005.
 This would have caused the oscar server to strip HTML in IMs send from an
 iChat ICQ user to an ICQ user with a client that doesn't support HTML.

 However, somehow ICQ messages from ICQ users sent to clients that support
 HTML have the features set appropriately to signify that the IM is HTML.
 It almost seems like a server bug, where HTML isn't being stripped unless
 the 0x400 flag is set.
