Send plaintext messages from Pidgin (jwchat.org compatibility)
Based on excellent b64 simple perl plugin by Chetan Vaity
Dependes on HTML::Strip Perl module.
Just place into ~/.purple/plugins
Not even a restart of pidgin is needed - just enable and select account(s) to be used with.
I don't plan to update this any more. I did this once I found jwchat.org is not displaying messages with formatting AT ALL. It simply ignores them. And searching through the internet, finding several feature requests to pidgin to support this.

And finding jwchat is being discontinued :( The only client side JS XMPP webclient that allows entering server and port. Sigh...
