martin,
I've used the libyahoo library to communicate with Yahoo.. and I've
asked the encoding questions to the maintainers.. unfortunatly.. they
have no idea what sort of encoding the Yahoo messages are, when they
come into the library.. and I am just doing a simple byte-algorithm
to UTF-8 the messages.. (only affecting high numbered bytes) before
sending the messages into Jabber..
so.. Unfortunatly.. I'd be the one to answer your question, but I have
no idea.. Eventually, Yahoo! should be supporting the IM Unified
Protocol (which they are a member of), which will allow us to communicate
through a known method.. (as opposed to trying to figure the protocol out
through hex dumps)
You may get a better responce from the Libyahoo community.. they have
an active mailing list run from libyahoo.sourceforge.net.. they may
have discovered something since the last time I've queried them.
Good Luck!
