Sometimes I'm sending messages in html tags

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Not sure. I think it sometimes happens when copypasting formatted text into 
the pidgin text box.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

In pidgin I see the message normally as "foobar". My steam contacts see this 
message as <font size="3">foobar</font>. I also see the message like this when 
I look at the message in the steam client.

The problem is that there's no obvious way to get rid of it. All pidgin options 
for formatting are disabled, including the one to "reset" formatting. Which is 
the right thing to do I think, but it should somehow make sure that only 
unformatted text is sent.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

This has been happening sporadically for a long time.

You don't happen to be using the Message Splitter plugin, do you?

Hm...

It was enabled.

I have disabled it and will see whether it happens again.

I have the same problem. Seems to be a pidgin problem. It's unrelated to the steam-plugin. I know this because I don't use this plugin and have exactly the same issue. It happens when I copy text from the pidgin chat and paste it into the pidging chat. Storing the copied text into another editor cleansed the text (copy that text again and paste it in the pidgin text the textcomes without html tags).
