[Gaim-devel] AIM custom charset

[Alexey M. <gai...@ly...>]

Hello.

I'm using gaim 0.82 under windows. Keep getting "(There was an error 
receiving this message)" when my ICQ friends send me cyrillic.  Debug 
window shows that those messages are in AIM_CHARSET_ASCII rather than 
CUSTOM, so it is trying to treat it as UTF-8.  Previous versions of gaim 
would show it as cp1251 reencoded in latin1, so I could at least decode 
it in the shell, now the message is lost.

In gaim_plugin_oscar_parse_im_part removed AIM_CHARSET_ASCII else if 
part and ||ed it to AIM_CHARSET_CUSTOM and now everything works.  Is 
there any particular reason why we are trying to decode ASCII as UTF-8 
right now?

Any chance something like that would make into the official release?..

Thanks,
