Replies to specific messages are never received

[DagoW]

In the official WhatsApp one can reply to a specific message in a chat
(by selecting it and replying or by using the drop-down menu in WhatsApp Web).

I noticed that such replies are never received by yowsup-cli and missing from
the chat. The several seconds later, I get this

ERROR:yowsup.layers.interface.interface:Stream Error type: ack
{'ack': None}

Is this a known limitation?
Can somebody here fix this?

With best regards, Dago

DagoW,
Did you fix this? Found a workaround? I've same problem when my number receives a reply message.

@tgalal Do you have any tip how should we handle with this error?

[DagoW]

No, I lack the knowledge to fix it and I have no workaround.

I guess tgalal is busy with other things. The last commit to this project was 7 months ago.

Does anybody know if there is an active fork of "yowsup"?

[mikkelam]

did you end up finding a solution for this? I have this same problem

[DagoW]

No, I didn't.

I've noticed that the error occurs when the message is being decoded to UTF-8 by the axolotl lib:

(https://github.com/tgalal/python-axolotl/blob/master/axolotl/groups/groupcipher.py#L104)

return plaintext.decode()

And the exception raised is:

'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x8a in position 8: invalid start byte

Can it be an issue in axolotl library? I think that the messages are treated as plain text, and have an XML structure when is a reply or mention.
