Version: 1.0.0 (using 4.4.00 (KDE 4.4.0), Gentoo) Compiler: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.33-gentoo Normally kopete sent the ASCII-art of emoticons I entered so that they can be parsed by the other side. Now it sends soem <a>-tag with the local path to the icons (as said by the other peer) - they aren't visible in my local chat window, too. I'm using xmpp/jabber as protocol and am not using rich text formatting. Since it is theoretically possible to embed smilies within the messages this is perhaps related? I wasn't able to find any properties within kopete to switch between these possibilities (so I don't even know if kopete supports that ;-) ).
It turns out this is realated to the OTR-Plugin. When not using it, everything seems to be ok. When activating the OTR-Plugin the icons no longer work.
