Description Al Muckart 2005-03-24 01:33:07 UTC

Version:           0.10 (using KDE 3.4.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.2 [FreeBSD] 20040728
OS:                FreeBSD (i386) release 5.4-PRERELEASE

This is similar, but not identical to #79644.

The root of the problem seems to be that kopete interprets everything in angle brackets "<" and ">" as html. I noticed I was getting blank messages from someone who was sending me the string "<nod>". 

The bigger issue is that kopete will merrily parse external url references, so if I send <img src="url-to-image"> then that image will pop up in the chat window. This is all bad - I could find someone using kopete at work and start spamming them with img links to porn...

There needs to be an option similar to kmails to never load external references, and an option to never parse html in the chatwindow.

This is a protocol issue. Please specify whay protocol this problem is in.

Sorry, the protocol is ICQ. I don't have any other IM accounts to test whether this happens with MSN or AIM etc.

already fixed for KDE 3.4.1
