Comment (by flynd):
I have the same problems with swedish characters (åäö).[[BR]]
The problem only happens when chatting with some of my friends, I think it
is related to which client the peer is using. I'm seeing the problem with
trillian but not with miranda or gaim. This applies to messages sent
through server as send direct sometimes caused trillian to crash so I'm
not sending direct anymore. :-)[[BR]]
In 1.3.2 I managed to do a small hack that solved the problem for me but
the same thing did not work in 1.3.4.[[BR]]
Below is my hack for 1.3.2:
