After copying some text from Al Jazeera I was able to receive and send in Arabic.

http://www.aljazeera.net/portal

Also i have tested with Russian also today..

So the latest SVN is able to display these character sets using the yahoo plugin.

Hello from the KDE Bugsquad!

Unfortunately, Yahoo has discontinued the Yahoo Messenger service, and the code has been removed from Kopete.

Thus, I am closing this bug as "UNMAINTAINED" since it will no longer be fixable, or able to operate due to Yahoo.
