However, I know there are folk out there who are adamantly
against and formatting in their messages.
pfft, they can disable it in their clients.
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. (or at least it
should be being passed)
