Bug Description
I added a picture and send it to a person on Mxit (witch was Mxit-ing from his mobile). The person on Mxit could not receive the picture, he said he got a big X. It only happens when I send pictures via pidgin, to a other person on his mobile. If I Mxit from my mobile it works correctly.
So it is a problem from Pidgin to Mobile using the Mxit Protocol
I think the problem is because Pidgin adds the image in the chat box (where you type the messages) and does not provide the "Download" or "Reject" option for the other person on Mxit. So if you send the pic, it shows the image in the Pidgin chat.
