Description rectifier04 2015-12-21 13:30:53 UTC
Using chat application version 15.12.0, using XMPP protocol
Any incoming messages from at least Pidgin client show html syntax in chat.
All links show "<a href="LINKHERE">LINKHERE</a>, line breaks, font changes, etc. all show just the HMTL wrapped text on one big line getting word wrapped.
Regular non-formatted messages show fine

During normal use I've noticed that html tags aren't being formatted when received using my jabber.org account, but using my jabber.otr.im account things are formatted at least somewhat properly.
jabber.otr.im seems to strip formatting in some way, somehow; indentation and links are fine, but size/color are stripped.

I can confirm this as well. A friend uses pidgin, and everything he sends comes through as escaped HTML. ampersands are &amp; and the like. 

If he pastes something that has formatting, it keeps the formatting (in HTML), a la <b> <span color="green"></span and so on.

It'd be great to have it fixed :D

I hate double-posting but none of the bug information is right (as far as platforms). I'm running the latest version in Kubuntu 16.04 (it's in beta or whatever right now), which means "Chat Application" 15.12.1, Kde Frameworks 5.18, Qt 5.5.1.
