Description John Antoniou 2007-10-26 21:40:22 UTC 
Version:           0.12.7 (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux
OS:                Linux

Kopete 0.12.7 and  KDE 3.5.8. 
Sometimes when I receive a greek message I see only the first word of it, and when that happens even english text is a bit weird. It doesnt display spaces. Let me give you an example:

Greek text:
έλα
(when the message originally was: έλα ρε μλκα)
and when this happens, from the same contact writing in english, I get this:
Hidude,howareyou (when the message was: Hi dude, how are you).

This has happened to me with 2 contacts using the latest version of windows live messenger and msn plus plugin. 
It happens on random times, not always. I can't see what the problem may be. I've tried removing any configs from kopete and start over but this doesn't help.
I can confirm this bug on archlinux (64bit) and kubuntu linux (32bit).
No mods or special plugins, just "Now listening" plugin and Glossyk 4 theme for chat window.

Does this still happen to you? I tried sending that greek message from the latest WLM to kopete 0.5.80 and it sends fine. Could this be about the msn plus plugin?

We've completely replaced the current MSN implementation with a new MSN implementation which  If you continue to experience this bug after testing the new implementation (which can be gotten from our subversion repository or with the KDE 4.2 Beta 1 release), PLEASE, open a new bug rather than reopening this bug. Thank you for your time and efforting in helping us find and fix problems in Kopete.
