Description (last modified by rekkanoryo) (diff)

To reproduce:

  • Set a pounce on your friend who uses the official AIM client.
  • Set the send message to be <whatever
  • Wait for the pounce to activate.

I had a pounce like this, and they kept asking me why I was im'ing them a blank message. I changed the pounce to be &lt;whatever and they said it showed up how I intended it to "<whatever" is what they saw.

Looks like we need to make sure the message is properly escaped before sending on prpls supporting HTML?
