Package: gaim Version: 1:1.5.0-1 Severity: important gaim is not able to receive ICQ text in a foreign client.
I have a russian contact, when he writes to me in russian, gaim complains, saying "(There was an error receiving this message. The buddy you are speaking to most likely has a buggy client.)" The error message is false (his client is *not* buggy), I think, for the following reasons: - it happens with more than one friend (true, they may be using the same version). This friend uses icq 5.03 on Windows XP. - more importantly, the problem only occurs with gaim. gnomeicu and licq, for example, display his russian text just fine My own russian text displays on gaim okay, and he receives and reads it ok. It's only receiving his text which seems to be broken. The problem may be in recoding the text. He is probably using CP-1251, which russian MS-Windows uses. I'm using UTF-8. gnomeicu can do the conversion without requiring any intervention on my behalf in the confgi settings. I hope you can fix it, it's quite annoying!
