Adium showing HTML tags on ICQ

Hi

When a contact is logged into iChat with an ICQ number, HTML tags get displayed.

Is there a fix? Or is this a bug?

Thanks

It's a bug -- an iChat bug, specifically.

---
Developer note:

Code: Select all

		if (([decryptedIncomingMessage rangeOfString:@"ichatballooncolor"].location != NSNotFound) ||
			([decryptedIncomingMessage rangeOfString:@"<HTML>"
											 options:(NSCaseInsensitiveSearch | NSLiteralSearch | NSAnchoredSearch)].location != NSNotFound) ||

is the code from the joscar plugin which worked around this stupidity, with a comment of

Code: Select all

			/* iChat ICQ contacts still send HTML. Decode it.
			 * Some ICQ clients send HTML anyways; the first part of the incoming message will be <HTML>. Decode it.

This needs to be made into a Trac ticket when Trac is back up - be a good 1.0.1 bugfix to use itin the oscar gaim service plugin; I don't want to add it to 1.0 at this stage in the game.

It only seems to happen with ICQ users on iChat, .Mac contacts seem fine (could be different versions of iChat though).

I notice iChat makes no mention of ICQ, but seems to work OK when entering it as AIM settings.

Is this down to a difference in protocols?

Basically, ya. ICQ, I believe, is text only. Whereas AIM uses something we've coined as ghettohtml.
