Buddylist does not display proper status of contacts when JID contains unicode

[m4lu]

I am not sure whether the experienced behavior is an 'error' in jackline or if this should rather be considered normal behavior (under the circumstances) - so please feel free to ignore it or consider this informational only.

If someone has a an other person in their buddy list and the JID of the buddy contains a unicode character while the persons system does not have proper unicode settings configured, I experience the following behavior:

• The JID of the buddy gets displayed in the buddylist, with unicode character garbled up (expected)
• the status of the buddy (online/away/..) does not get displayed properly in the buddylist
• the actual status is displayed in the 'informational log' part of the jackline window (i.e. when initially connecting)

Furthermore no chat can be initiated with that buddy.

that is definitively a bug, which can likely be easily reproduced with the ascii (-a) flag, and should be investigated and fixed. considering that there may be multiple unicode-only jid in the roster, it may make sense to enumerate them instead of using ?...
