Bug Description

Hello,
gaim 2.0beta3.1 causes warnings on trillian clients because ICQ implementation seems to contradict definition, but previous versions don't.

original german message that trillian shows during conversation:
*** HINWEIS: Dieser Benutzer verwendet offenbar eine ältere Version von Mirabilis ICQ, das ein veraltertes ICQ Protokoll verwendet. Aus diesem Grund KANN es zu Nachrichtenverlust kommen. Ermuntern Sie die Gegenstelle, auf Trillian oder zumindest eine aktuelle ICQ Version umzusteigen (Sie können notfalls auch E-Mailen oder anrufen... ;) ). Sie können diesen Hinweis unter "ICQ Profileinstellungen->Verschiedenes" abstellen..

summary :
***advice:
user's icq client is too old, this could cause losing messages [...]
It's possible to disable the warning message on trillian.

thanks

English message shown in trillian:

NOTE: This user appears to be using an older Mirabilis ICQ client, which depends on an outdated version of the ICQ protocol. As such, you *may* experience intermittent message loss. Encourage them to upgrade to Trillian or a newer build of ICQ! (You can e-mail them, or call them... :))

Is Gaim using old version of ICQ protocol?

Is it the Pidgin user or the Trillian user that sees the message?

I never experience any problems like message loss.
