Font color in Kopete makes text impossible to see

I have a friend who insists on writing from his AOL client in white text with a blue background. For some reason Kopete doesn't register the background color, but keeps the text white making it impossible to see. Is there some way to over ride his color choices with defaults of my own?

I'm seing a variation on this. Any text effects make the incoming text invisible with Yahoo.

Kopete version 0.7.4, gentoo build.

I've done a little digging and have some more on this.

Downloaded and built the 0.8 beta (7.93). Turned on the history module.

Still can't see the text sent by one of my friends, but the chat logs revealed something interesting; each of her lines was prefixed with ^[[1m^[[36m. The character pair ^[ is the ASCII ESC character. (These look VTxxx escape codes.)

The corresponding message I get in the chat display is that it can't parse the XML.

So, before I file a bug report, did I overlook a text processing option that I need to turn on? I've been through the docs and looked at the switches I can set, but I haven't seen anything that may help.

Nevermind.

Browsing the kopete mail archives I came across a reference to this bug: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66865.

I guess it'll be a while before it's fixed. *sigh*
