The problem still persists in KDE 4.3.4 (Kopete 0.80.2)

Latest SVN Version I tested both ways, works with the text example you had attached.

Can you expand on the version you are using.

The problem is not reproducible on a fresh OS install. So bug can be closed. Sorry for the false report.
Comment 4 Maksym Sheremet 2010-03-07 19:02:52 UTC 
The issue is reproducible again. I found proper steps to reproduce. Kopete 1.0.0 with Yahoo and WLM (MSN) accounts, KDE 4.4.0

1. Start Kopete with Yahoo and WLM offline.
2. Change Yahoo status to online.
3. Receive yahoo message with cyrillic symbols.

Actual (and expected) results:

4. Change WLM status to online.
5. Receive yahoo message with cyrillic symbols.

Actual results:

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.
