Description sole 2006-10-12 10:51:46 UTC 
Version:           0.12.2 (using KDE 3.5.2, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu18.1 dapper)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-27-386

I just updated to the latest version of kopete, using ubuntu's automatic updater.
Now each time I send a message to any other user they receive a badly formed html such as:

style='font-family: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono;'>test

I've tried changing the settings to not to send any specific font, also closed and reopened the window several times, with no success.

The contact do receive that string too or only receive "test" ?
Comment 2 sole 2006-10-12 14:00:09 UTC 
Test is the text that I was submitting, but any other text will do.
For example if i write "hello world" in my kopete client, they will receive:

style='font-family: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono;'>Hello world

Hope this helps!

I'm using the same packages.  Which protocol are you using? MSN/AIM?  Using AIM I don't see the HTML.  Are you using any formatting?
Comment 4 sole 2006-10-16 10:15:04 UTC 
I'm using jabber (it's a gmail account) and I didn't add any formatting...
Comment 5 sole 2006-10-19 10:27:30 UTC 
Some more info...
I tried to completely uninstall kopete and reinstall it again (with the synaptic package manager) with no luck. When I ran it again it still had all the accounts info and kept outputting the wrong html in the messages.

Then I downloaded the source code and tried to compile this program - just to make sure this was just a ubuntu problem or maybe a different configuration would solve it, but I can't manage to compile it. ./configure stops when it looks for the "x headers". I don't really know where are those headers or where to get them from.

I'm using ubuntu dapper drake.

Also I found something weird. If I connect with Gaim and Kopete at the same time from the same computer, and the same gmail account, any message that I send with Kopete works as expected - not adding any badly formed html.
As soon as I close GAIM, Kopete goes back to sending those bad strings.
This has left me absolutely puzzled.

Any help will be deeply appreciated!

I'm experiencing this issue as well, using SuSE 10.1, KDE 3.5.5, Kopete 0.12.3 using Jabber protocol, but apparently only to specific platforms:

Jabber messages received by certain clients (notably Adium on OS X) are preceded by:

style='font-family: Sans Serif; '>121863


This does not appear to go to Windows / PSi Jabber clients, however.
