01:45 < Robot101> resiak: uh
01:46 < Robot101> resiak: haze is mangling my outgoing messages, or at least, 
                  mangling how they appear to me
01:46 < Robot101> method call sender=:1.32 -> dest=:1.26 
path=/org/freedesktop/Telepathy/Connection/haze/msn/robot101_40passport_2ecom/ImChannel9; interface=org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Type.Text; member=Send 
                  uint32 0 string "www.foo.com ftp.bar.com"
01:46 < Robot101> signal sender=:1.26 -> dest=(null destination) 
path=/org/freedesktop/Telepathy/Connection/haze/msn/robot101_40passport_2ecom/ImChannel9; interface=org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Type.Text; member=Sent 
                  uint32 1200275114 uint32 0 string "www.foo.com ftp.bar.com 
                  (ftp://ftp.bar.com)"
01:46 < Robot101> the brackety thing's a bit weird isn't it?
01:46 < resiak> nnnrnghghnh libpurple
01:47 < resiak> this is a combination libpurple's "html"-to-plaintext function 
                and its htmlification of the message in the first place
01:47 < Robot101> it turns ftp.foo.com to <a 
                  href="ftp://ftp.foo.com">ftp.foo.com</a> to send
01:48 < Robot101> then when it turns that to text, ftp.foo.com != 
                  ftp://ftp.foo.com so it puts the link in brackets
01:48 < resiak> yep
01:48 < Robot101> because if I'd received <a href="badgers">snake</a>, showing 
                  me snake (badgers) is reasonable in plain text
01:48 < Robot101> shame its not idempotent
01:49 < resiak> the irritating thing is, MSN doesn't even support links with 
                text different to their URL
01:49 < resiak> so actually what's happening is:
01:49 < resiak>  * you ask for "foo.com ftp.bar.com" to be sent
01:49 < resiak>  * it is sent
01:49 < resiak>  * the prpl tells the core it's sent it
01:49 < resiak>  * the core HTMLifies it
01:49 < resiak>  * the core raises the sent signal
01:49 < resiak> * haze only has the HTMLified version, so has to call 
                purple_html_to_text (or whatever it's called)
01:50 < Robot101> haha
01:50 < Robot101> go team haze
01:50 < Robot101> er
01:50 < resiak> file a bug against me so i don't forget
01:50 < Robot101> purple
01:50 < Robot101> sent-actually?
01:50 < resiak> i have to do the sleeping thing
01:51 < resiak> yeah, or just fix up messages to be passed around libpurple as 
                (Either PlainText HTML) or some isomorphic datatype :)
