I've been running into the same issue on and off with bog-standard ASCII characters, pidgin on both ends. I fired up the native Microsoft MSN/Live/whatever-it's-called-this-week client and the "missing" contact didn't appear so I've tended to believe it's an issue on the server side. In my case, if I re-add the "missing" user they appear online instantly (and they don't get the request to be added) but after being offline for some time the user once again appears offline. Having the two problem contacts delete each other, then re-add each other seems to have helped in at least one case, although there might be some luck involved. _______________________________________________ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
