I have a problems with russian letters in debian pyicqt 0.8b-5.

I set the <encoding>cp1251</encoding> in config.xml.

The problem is that most of ICQ clients see my russian letters normally,
but some clients (Kopete, Gajim, Pidgin) receive russian letters as latin-1
(ISO-8859-1) like this:
Íà äàííûé ìîìåíò ó íàñ îòêðûòî äâà îôèñà â Ìîñêâå
Original text is: На данный момент у нас открыто два офиса в Москве
Changing the default and the user encoding force to CP1251 on that ICQ
clients don't help.

But the messages from thouse clients I receive normally in russian.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Connect to ICQ with pyicqt
2. Change the default encoding on another ICQ user to CP1251.
3. Send a message to another ICQ user that use Kopete, Gajim, Pidgin with
russian letters.
4. See what this ICQ user receive.

Sorry, for Pidgin problem solved with changing encoding to windows-1251 instead of
CP1251.
But the problem stay here with the Kopete version 4.1.3 :(

Confirmed, Kopete 0.60.1

Try send messages in UTF-8 (supported by PyICQt 0.8.1):
Select value "Always when it's possible" in option "Settings > Message settings >
utf-8 messages sending mode" (Ad-Hoc)

Thank's, changing to always UTF-8 in Ad-Hoc helps! Kopete and other clients sends and
receives messages with this mode normally at first look. 
I'l test it and post here if find any problems with this mode.
How can I set it by-default for new accounts?
