I upgraded from an older svn version (Rev 92) to the latest (Rev 109).
There is a new error: The statusmessages from icq now contain the mime-type as
text and the text is not de-/encoded correctly 
I made a screenshot of a statusmessage:
https://schattenwelten.dyndns.org/~mark/statusmessage.jpg

-> text/x-aolrtf; charset="iso-8859-1" wasn't shown as
statusmessage-text before and the word on the bottom isn't printed correctly in
iso-8859-1.

Attaching the file so you don't have to keep it there if you don't want.  =D

interesting that that's showing up like that... sigh!  =)  Thanks for the
report!

[text/x-aolrtf; charset="iso-8859-1": schnö zum schochtlwirt]
as an example

yes, and the problem still exists in Rev 124. I'm telling this just in case Rev
122 was intended to fix it ;-)

Nope, it was not.

I can confirm this problem. Same problem here using a checkout from
mid-January.

hmm.. but there is a difference. here "text/aolrtf" is listed as
charset (instead of "text/x-aolrtf".)

I can not duplicate this no matter what I try.  Any idea what client the person
on the other end is using?

I have same problem, if my friend use original ICQ5 client and setup away
message in Czech language. Then I see the China characters.
Away message is imho in UTF-16.

This may be fixed by the latest "don't crash on weird encoding" patches.
