Not seeing replies

I've set a bot up and its working fine from the debugger. When I tried from Gajim on Jabber the stats are showing the connections - but Gajim shows no reply. When I then tried it on Quicksilver on my iPhone all was fine. I then set up an MSN account for the bot, and from my own account tried talking to it, but although MSN showed the bot available, and stats showed the connection made AND MSN showing that the bot was writing something I still didn't see any reply on the screen. Any ideas? I was wondering whether there are special character issues but I've tried it with some simple text and same problem.
On a related note, does IMified support Unicode as we may want to push arabic through it?

Have you tried resetting the bot? It might have gotten to a step with no response..
You could also put a conditional statement at the beginning of your script to reset the bot if you send a certain message to it.

Tried resetting but no joy. Not using steps, just parsing the message.

IMified does support Unicode, but not in the SMS channel.
Can you tell me what your bot's Jabber ID is so I can test this?

Sorted. We'd taken the words in the description of "dynamic web page" too literally and were returning a whole html set with html-head-body tags plus the actual reply text, rather than just the reply text. We've now stripped out all the html/head/body tags and it works fine on MSN and Gajim now - obviously the iPhone and Debugger we just ignoring all that extraneous stuff but MSN and Gajim got confused by it.
Will give the Unicode a try - we have a separate provide at the moment for SMS that does support Unicode so no issue there

We should have unicode support shortly in SMS as well.
