- quit messages.app
- open terminal.app
- if ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist.lockfile exists,
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist.lockfile - in terminal.app,
open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist - (XCode will start)
- Locate ICQ Account under root -> Accounts and set
ForceICQPlainText to YES - File -> Save
- Reboot!
Yes, seriously, boot your box. I know, feels strange on OS X.
But if you start messages.app before rebooting, the setting above will not be saved. And you have to start over (-> goto 1.) again.
Now, happy plaintext ICQing.
