[gaim-migrate @ 11424] Don't allow sending oversized messages on MSN - they wouldn't get there, and the switchboard server would disconnect us. Also fix up the oversized message truncation which should have been truncating the messages anyway. Add support for sending strikethrough on MSN (not that anyone can actually enter strikethrough tags yet) And a slight change to the building of chat user status icons. committer: Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
