Hello, I have one user that changes his icq client and I was needed to change the enconing for hime from KOI8-R to CP1251. I was really surprised when I saw all my history for him showed in the wrong encoding. As I understand the history is stored in the 8-bit mode without storing codepage of each message. I am suggesting to store history in the utf-8 encoding. This will alow to read history for engish language histories and this will alow for me to change the encoding of the user's messages without having problems with the hostory.
Also, this my friend have first and last names written in russian and in the header of licq send chatmode messageview it shows in the invalid codepage. If I change to user's codepage to old it shows in the right codepage. It seems that licq stores user's info in the 8-bit mode. As a conclustion I will suggest to store ALL info in the confir files in the utf-8 encoding. Any comments?
