The encoding depends on the other side, I think ICQMessage has a field for 
that but I don't know if libicq or the real packet sets it. Look at sim and 
you'll see that you can set an encoding for _every_ contact so I assume ICQ 
has no idea about encodings and clients just send what their current 
system-encoding is.
For now we are safe by using latin1 as this is what most europeans and 
americans use but for a release we need a proper fix (i.e. converting things 
on receive/send however that should be done).

Bye, Stefan
