Martijn, and others, I have an idea how we can display thes emessages better.

Since  these errors are infrequent, a little inefficientcy on them is OK. So, what we \
could do is this... when the XML parsing fails, we throw the string through this \
jobbie, that takes the string we *thought* was as UTF-8 and *makes sure* it is UTF-8:

QCString decodeAttempt( QCString &utf )
{
    QTextCodec *utfCodec = QTextCodec::codecForName( "utf8" );
    QString resultString;

    for( uint i = 0; i < utf.length(); i++ )
    {
        QChar thisChar = utf[i];
        if( utfCodec->canDecode( thisChar )
            resultString += thisChar;
        else
            resultString += QChar('?');
    }
    
    return resultString.utf8();
}

.. Thus replacing all the un-encodable characters with ?

Then instead of

An internal Kopete error occurred while parsing a message:
XML document could not be parsed! 

We can display:

WARNING: Kopete could not properly determine the encoding of the following message:
Foobar message ?? foo.
