-------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 Hi,

 Probably about 5 times a day, I end up hitting some key combination that
 changes the text formatting of the input window.  Underlining, italics,
 bold, increased text size... you name it.

 I have gotten quite used to hitting keys to reset it, but I'm now dreaming
 of an option in the "Preferences -> Conversations" menu that could simply
 disable all outgoing text formatting so I never have to make this mistake
 again.

 While it seems obvious that another solution would be to simply "not hit
 those keys", I have found that I am not the only one who frequently makes
 this mistake.  Some other colleagues who use Pidgin even suggested their
 own (different) way to reset the text formatting since they encounter it
 as well.

 PS:  I am not sure if it would affect the following, but it came to mind
 just now:  perhaps this feature could also disable the underlining of URLs
 when I paste them into the small window where you input text.  I find
 Pidgin never formats my URLs correctly, especially if I edit them after.
 Or perhaps that is a separate thing, and could have its own option.

 Thanks for reading.
