For ex:
  I created a bookmark as the following :

  
javascript:(function(){window.location='xmpp:user.n...@oracle.com?message;body=SR
 12345';;})();;

  This successfully open the chat window for user.name with a body as "SR" and

Since we're talking URIs, shouldn't a space be encoded as %20 or similar?

The URI handling for XMPP accounts follows XEP-0147 
(http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0147.html).

You need to specify that you want to send a message - the URI handler can also 
be used to add buddies and join MUCs:

xmpp:u...@domain.com?message

You can optionally specify the account for the case where you have multiple 
XMPP accounts (this is not part of the XEP because the XEP doesn't consider the 
case for several accounts) , and an optional value to pre-populate the message 
window with:

xmpp:u...@domain.com?account=myusern...@domain.com;message;body=Hi


Note that these will only work if Pidgin is currently running, Pidgin will not 
be launched based on a URI handling attempt.

You wouldn't have needed to put anything in that field in that past
(and you wouldn't need to now if you weren't using Tor).
I tried to explain why you need to do it in my initial response - the
jabber.org XMPP server moved to a different server than what
jabber.org resolves to and in order to find it, we need to do a SRV
DNS lookup to find it (which isn't possible to do though a SOCKS5
proxy (Tor in your case)).
OTR shouldn't be impacted by this as far as I know - OTR operates on
the stream sent to/from the server rather than caring about the
specific server you're connected to.

Indeed, that appears to have fixed this problem. I sincerely appreciate your
taking the time to help me, Daniel. I do not recall having ever put any data
into that field in the past. It is not perfectly clear to me why it was
necessary now, to be honest. Is this simply one of the new servers used by
the domain of "jabber.org"? If so, why was the change made? Would this have
any effect on my configuration of Pidgin OTR as well?

You changed the "Domain" to hermes.jabber.org, you need to change that
back and change the "Connect Server" (which is in the Advanced tab of

I have found this to be a solution to data corruption problems on more than
one occasion.

I used this same command at the command prompt where Pidgin was installed,
and it appeared to create a good deal of output, yes.  As I am not familiar
with this procedure, I do not really understand what I should be looking for
in it.  I can say that Pidgin appeared to start up as a result, in addition
to the command prompt output, but still no connection was made. The
right-click menu options were now working from the icon in the Notification
area, and I was able to get into the configuration dialogue. I changed the
domain for the server connection from "jabber.org" to "hermes.jabber.org".
Even so, the connection did not succeed. I can see in the Pidgin window
these two lines:

usern...@hermes.jabber.org/ disabled
XMPP stream header missing

Clicking on the button labeled Re-enable does not help make the connection.
In addition, when I used Ctrl+C to end the debug command procedure, it
failed to end the instance of Pidgin in Process Manager, and I was unable to
close the command window normally. In fact I had to reboot the machine to
terminate the process.  After doing so and restarting Pidgin, the program
started successfully but no connection was made to "hermes.jabber.org".
Those same two lines I just showed still appear in the Pidgin window. When I
open the Help > Debug window, I can see these lines:

I will never understand how people can think to solve a problem a
software has by uninstalling and reinstalling the piece of software en
cuestion. But anyway.

Try starting pidgin from a command line (also called DOS prompt) and
with debugging enabled (don't know how to enable this in Win, but
there is for sure a way to do). And watch what it is saying. In a normal
(read: in a UNIX) system it would be

$ pidgin --debug

Yes, it was a jabber.org account. However, now I seem to have another
problem with Pidgin although I tried completely uninstalling it and
reinstalling to try fixing it without success. When Pidgin starts, a little
icon appears in the notification area of my Windows Taskbar. When I
right-click it to open the program for making configuration changes, nothing
happens. I right-click and no menu appears allowing me to open the program.
If I left-click or right click the icon, nothing happens. I cannot seem to
get to the Pidgin account setup dialogue window any longer. As I said, I
uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but nothing changed. I am running
64-bit Windows 7.

Is this a jabber.org account?

If so, the problem is that jabber.org had moved the server and has
updated the SRV DNS record to point to the new server - since you're
using Tor, DNS SRV is disabled because that can't be done through
SOCKS5, so Pidgin doesn't know which server to connect to.  You may
specify "hermes.jabber.org" in the "Connect server" field of the
"Advanced" settings of your account to make Pidgin to connect to the
new server.

The URI handling for XMPP accounts follows XEP-0147
(http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0147.html).
