Bug Description

Qaiku uses the Markdown formatting system for supporting inline links, bold, italic, lists etc. in messages. It would be great if Gwibber could visualize Qaiku messages through Markdown.

Markdown syntax:

Qaiku does send the HTML-formatted version (using its own Markdown parser) as part of the JSON message payload, so Gwibber can simply use that.

Attached is a patch which makes Gwibber trust Qaiku's formatted messages, and also supports "link Qaikus" that have an external link sent together with the message
