 Yes, there are clients that send and receive plain-text messages only,
 such as Miranda or QIP, and yes, Pidgin will render their messages as
 HTML. The official clients (ICQ 6.5 and 7.0) also do that. I couldn't find
 a quick and reliable way to determine if an incoming IM is in HTML or
 plain-text (without resorting to hacks), so I decided to leave it as is.
