Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pidgin
Buddies in my list using Alias formatting from the MSN live messenger show up
wrongly, such as:
*one [c=47][b]s0*D3LiCiouS-rawr[/b][/c=40]
[ c=47 ] seems to be a colour instruction whereas [ b ] is obviously a
"bold" tag
i understand the lack of interest in textformatting support for buddy names and
aliases in pidgin, yet i don't
see the necessity of displaying the formatting code in the buddy name. rather
should pidgin understand the code and recognize it
as formatting code, then remove it from the alias or buddy name
