Bug Description

Binary package hint: empathy

Some of the messages sent to my MSN contacts do not appear on their half.
There is no sign that they are not sent.

It can be annoying when they don't answer one of your questions that they don't even receive :D

The file contains the error, which occurred when my message was not sent.

In the debug log there was no sign of any message written in that time interval, thus it was about 10 lines.

My friend uses pidgin 2.6.6.

I was able to reproduce this bug. Its not a protocol bug rather empathy bug i.e it should Just tell the user that the text is too long. Pidgin does that.

In my case it happens with messages composed of just 6 characters. I see no correlation between the length of my message and this bug.
The other aspect of this is, that after the bug occurs I can't send any messages to that contact, until I log out and in again.

This is really annoying. I've just installed aMSN because of this, but I don't like it. So it would be nice if this one could be resolved.
