 I get a repeated, annoying message from MSN users in China:

 {{{ 立即安装最新版本 Messenger 保护盾，和好友加密聊天！ http://im.live.cn/safe/ }}}

 It's telling the recipient to install the latest version of MSN for
 security reasons. I consider this an invasive advertisement, as the users
 themselves aren't actually sending this message. I think that Pidgin, or
 perhaps a plugin, should filter these advertisements to prevent the
 recipient from seeing them.
