My company is upgrading from the old Lync 2013 to Skype for Business. It's a slow roll out, but the people who do have Skype for Business are sending messages with raw HTML.
SIPE receives a MESSAGE of content type text/html. The code then proceeds to extract the HTML part from the message, which in this case is the whole message body, and passes it as is to the libpurple backend.
The libpurple client is supposed to render the HTML. I have no idea why Adium doesn't do this, because Pidgin does.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Release 1.19.x is obsolete.
No debug log provided as required by bug instructions and FAQ. Closing issue as irrelevant.
I will reconsider re-opening this issue if debug log is attached.
Here is the log for starting up with just the SIPE plugin. The messages to note are from:
sip:astoller@catalystinc.com
Example from log

So this is more a bug with libpurple(on Adium specifally) than it is with the SIPE plugin?
Yes. I would have no idea how to "fix" this in SIPE.
