 Hello,
 it seems that pidgin in a conversation window doesn't render the new line
 between two paragraphs (<p></p><p></p>). This materializes when using for
 example SIPE and receiving messages from windows client. If the other
 party copy pastes a text with new lines in a Skype/Lync it is send to
 pidgin as for example:

 <p style='margin-bottom:0pt; line-height:normal; font-size:10pt; font-
 family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;
 color:black;'>___EXAMPLE_LINE1___</p><p style='margin-bottom:0pt; line-
 height:normal; font-size:10pt; font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-
 serif; color:black;'>___EXAMPLE_LINE2___</p>

 But in the conversation window it gets rendered as a single line of text
 like:

 ___EXAMPLE_LINE1___ ___EXAMPLE_LINE2___

 If you have logging enabled in HTML format and check in the
 ~/.purple/logs/sipe/me at example.com%2cme at example.com/sip%3athe_other_guy at example.com
 and open the html of the conversation in HTML browser like firefox, then
 it renders correctly with new lines between the paragraphs.Like:

 ___EXAMPLE_LINE1___

 ___EXAMPLE_LINE2___
