MS LCS / MS Office Communicator / SIPE Protocol Support
Submitted by Jamie Jackson
Link to original bug (#592809)
Description
The Empathy site claims that it supports the same protocols as Pidgin, but that seems misleading, as I think Empathy doesn't support Microsoft Live Communication Server / Microsoft Office Communicator / SIPE (different names for the same) protocol.
Pidgin supports the protocol via the pidgin-sipe package.
Empathy replaces Pidgin in the next Ubuntu release (9.10), and I'd like to use it, but I rely on the SIPE plugin.
Please consider adding support for this protocol.
