Plucked d2a1d52b3bbf29baa53b9ddaa635d50b6332064f from im.pidgin.adium by Zac West: Fixed sending DIM messages' encoding. Fixes #9087. The encoding bytes were being written in the wrong location, so the messages were being read back as ASCII and failing conversion, ending up being empty and not being displayed. Plucked f5376d42261b8efc3d889314df9896bb10d3fe16 from im.pidgin.adium: iChat sends direct IM messages with its encoding as 0x000d, which was being forced-interpreted as ASCII. Also, added better debug logging for charset information being received. applied changes from 212bd3655451599364562cabe553c5b7a19134ae through d2a1d52b3bbf29baa53b9ddaa635d50b6332064f applied changes from d2a1d52b3bbf29baa53b9ddaa635d50b6332064f through f5376d42261b8efc3d889314df9896bb10d3fe16
