[Adium-devl] feature request: encoding theme identification informations into messages (trivial)

[Duplon]

Hi,

my girl friend's client would send something like: Good morning honey  
<emoticon theme="QIP Russian Edition">:-*</emoticon>
and I would send something like: Good morning darling <emoticon  
theme="Monkey Mania Emoticons">:-*</emoticoin>
and both sides would see the correct icon if both themes would be  
installed.

The MSN-approach seems to not rely on the receiver side having the  
correct theme installed, which seems more straight forward, but  
complicated and MSN-protocol specific, too.

Best Regards,

Duplon
