I'm also affected by this bug (Ubuntu 10.04 final). Would it be possible to write a routine that detects the charset the message is sent in and convert it to the charset used by empathy? Example: I set Empathy to use utf8. My contact send's me a message from a Windows machine using latin1. Empathy recognizes this (i think it does already cause it tells me everytime that the client of my contact is an old one and/or is buggy) and converts the message from latin1 to utf8. I agree with JC: Some of my contacts use windows machines, some Linux/Unix and some MacOS. It's a bit complicated to agree with them all to use one and only one character encoding, regardless of the machine or OS they use.
