Description
This is more of a feature request than anything, I can't get on Empathy's site at the moment so I didn't know if I should post this here or not :/
Currently when using the MSN protocol a lot of my friends who have not seen the light (i.e. still using Windows) use a 3rd party Windows Live Messenger add-on that allows them to change the colour of their displays names and make them bold, underlined or in italics just like HTML tags.
For example:
[c=46][b]My Name in Bold and in Red[/b][/c]
With messenger plus! this would appear in bold and in colour number 46. However in Empathy the tags are displayed making the contacts window very untidy and hard to read when people have multiple tags in their name.
One way to get around the problem would be to simply removing the tags. This would make the the contacts window clean again and easy to read.
However fully supporting the tags like in Emesene and Kmess would be great!
