[jdev] How to handle AIM/external protocol users with "@" in buddy name

[Paul Clegg]

username%64othercompany.com at transport.company.com didn't work with our 
server/transport implementation (jabberd 1.4.2/aimt-t/or pyaim-t).

I also tried username&#64;othercompany.com at transport.company.com<http://transport.company.com>
.

Some sort of escaping does seem to be a reasonable solution though.

Thanks,

-Paul
