First off, great project! Glad to help with Linux testing as needed.

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Type 'status' to the Nagios bot using Pidgin (latest release) 2. 3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I would like to see something cleaner. For example, a line break between each warning or critical, or even the option of removing the links from the output. This is what I see:

(09:09:13 AM) Nagios:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 0.2.1, Nagios 3.2.0, Pidgin 2.5.9-1 on Centos 5.4 x64, Pidgin 2.6.4 on WinXP 32 bit

Please provide any additional information below. I'm really not sure if this is the standard output or if this may be an issue with Pidgin. The option for a simpler output would be ideal, for example:

WARNINGS: $HOSTNAME$: $SERVICE$ $SERVICESTATE$ for $TIME$ [ack ID] $HOSTNAME$: $SERVICE$ $SERVICESTATE$ for $TIME$ [ack ID]

CRITICALS: $HOSTNAME$: $SERVICE$ $SERVICESTATE$ for $TIME$ [ack ID] $HOSTNAME$: $HOSTSTATE$ for $TIME$ [ack ID]

I need to track this down further; IM clients seem to handle XHTML-formatted messages in various ways. Adium does a neater job and just displays hyperlinks.

As a workaround, I've made the formatting mode configurable as of revision 36; add the following line to your configuration file and you'll get much neater-looking output with your client:

xmpp_fmt: plain

Ultimately, I need to find a better way of handling this, perhaps keeping a list of XHTML-capable clients?
