Description

Hello! I'm a russian user of Adium. During tests of all betas I've found one serious bug that doesn't allow me (and I think all other users who use different codepages than standartd ISO-8859-1) to communicate well. Every time I recieve message from russian user I see abracadabra instead of normal message. In Adium 0.89.1 there was codepage selection in settings where we could select correct CP (for russian it's CP1251) but in betas this feature is lost somewhere and I can't read any russian message I recieve.

Futhermore, while using betas I experience problems with users of older ICQ pagers which don't support unicode messages (like trillian 1.0 or etc) and can't read any message from Adium.

Thank you so much for your hard work with Adium, hope everything would be fixed soon so people could start using it!

What about unicode and old icq version users?
