Public bug reported: The /exec-plugin from pidgin-plugin-pack fails to parse fortunes correctly. Steps to reproduce:
1. Install fortunes: apt-get install fortunes 2. Run pidgin with /exec-plugin enabled 3. Send the message "!fortune" (without the quotes) to any contact. Expected behaviour: The command "fortune" generates a random fortune cookie which will both be printed for the sender and the receiver. Actual behaviour: The receiver gets the fortune cookie as expected (you can try this by adding yourself as a contact and sending the message to yourself). For the sender, however, it is missing words (even complete lines) and has a messed up layout - compared to the receiver's view. Additional information: This is on a Gutsy x64 system with current packages.
