Hugabuga? :]

I'm seriously confused now.

The guy on the Gaim buglist said:

"Yes, I believe I have seen this before, and that is why I asked about
third-party plugins.  Try unloading OTR, and see if the problem is fixed.
If it is, you can take it up with the OTR people.

Ethan"

But if I've understood things right, now the conclusion is:
The problem *is* with the Gaim -client-. Not with the Gaim OTR plugin,
not with Miranda or with the Miranda plugin?

The Gaim client should strip HTML entities from any Jabber message
before it encrypts the message with OTR, and it does not..?
But Gaim *does* strip the HTML properly when OTR is not used...?

As far as I know, even the Jabber protocol specification does not support HTML entites in messages - only AIM does - so Gaim should be removing these entities before sending the messages (as it does when OTR is not used).
