[Bug 38065] Re: error with recieving german umlauts over ICQ protocol

[Mark Doliner]

I get the feeling this is not a bug, but just general suckiness of the ICQ protocol.  I don't believe there is any way to determine what character set/encoding the other client is using, and in general it is NOT UTF-8.  If there is a popular encoding other than UTF-8 that is used for German text (ISO-8859-1?), I would try putting that in the account editor.
