Applying XML escape to outgoing messages had caused this behavior. We are not so certain that messages should not be escaped in such way, but changed the way of URL encode for users' convenience. We think this problem has been resolved.

| Bug Details | |
| If I use an apostrophe (') it gets changed into ' which some Twitter clients actually receive and display rather than rendering as HTML. Could you just send the regular ASCII character for any normal character? I don't understand why you have to escape it in the first place since you're working in Pidgin's plugin API which isn't in any kind of web-based language. | |
