Which version of Empathy are you using ?

Quoting from 2.28.1.1 announcement:

> It also solves a potential security issue by ensuring that messages are
> always escaped before being displayed in Webkit (#599640).
Comment 2 Fernando Ribeiro 2009-10-29 00:36:53 UTC 
Empathy 2.28.1
Only occour with Addium theme (Ravenant Dust)

Maybe 2.28.1.1 can have fixed this bug.
Comment 3 Guillaume Desmottes 2009-10-29 10:42:19 UTC 
That should be fixed in 2.28.1.1. Feel free to re-open if you can reproduce with this version.
