That's the thing though, no they can't if we're passing them "formatted text". Yes, a client can choose to ignore <b> and <u> and friends. It can choose to ignore html entirely. However we're formatting the "plain text" version of the message, so their client would have to specifically know to handle s/\*//g or something like that. > That being said, the html text should be passed directly to the > client, (maybe check capabilites first), the client can then show off > the wonderful formating, etc. That's what xhtml-im is for. ;D And it is passed.
