I can confirm that 8-bit Latin characters work just fine for me in AIM,
MSN, Sametime, and Yahoo!.  Perhaps this is just ICQ specific, but I
don't have an ICQ account.  However, in looking at Gaim CVS, I don't see
any relevant ICQ-specific changes that would account for this.

The only post-0.82 change I see that is related to this deals with
non-ASCII offline messages.  However, that doesn't seem like this exact
issue.
